Description
It seems to be impossible to change the sensor order in the gadget or tray icons. The order of sensors appears to be alpha-numeric upon detection but, if you rename a sensor to make more sense, the order is not updated and gadgets can easily become out of order. Example:
Note how "Chassis Fan 1" and "Chassis Fan 2" are not ordered next to each other. This is because, as far as sensor detection was concerned, one was "Fan #1" and the other was "Fan #2".
It should be possible to reorder sensors, either specifically for gadgets and tray icons or at least in the main view that affects both.

Research direction
Start by tracing how sensor order is determined in the main view, gadgets, and tray icons, especially after a sensor is renamed. The work is complete when users can reorder sensors in a chosen view or the main view, and that ordering is reflected consistently in the gadgets and tray icons.
