[support] Re-ordering roles on access control page?

The trouble is how do you define 'most privileges'? Most amount of
checkboxes? (Which doesn't work anyway since 'administer nodes'
encapsulates all the create/edit checkboxes).

For roles I rarely edit, and that don't show up in profiles, I add a 'z'
to the front to push them to the right out of the way "zAdmin". I agree
that having the roll over for the checkbox say the roles as well as the
permission would be great. But I should roll a patch if I really need
it.

Subject: [support] Re-ordering roles on access control page?

I know this is a slightly trivial thing, but is there any way to
re-order
the columns in the access control page (admin/user/access)?  They come
out
in order  "administrator", "anonymous", "authenticated" (are they just
alphabetized?).  This makes it a little confusing, since they are not
sorted in order of most to least privileged.

The problem is compounded because the column heads are only shown at the
top of the page.  When it scrolls off the top of the visible area,
you're
left looking at a bunch of checkboxes with no visible labels and no
logical ordering.  This is kind of confusing :-)

At some point, I intend to add a 4th role, "editor", which will have
privileges less than administrator but more than authenticated user.
