Description William Piers CLA 2017-07-13 10:09:45 EDT 
It would be useful to provide a way to define the tabs order in the .design. This could be using constraints, categories, ids...
2 usecases leading to this feature request:
* I want to append some legacy tabs to the Sirius tabs, after them. In the legacy plugin.xml declaration I can specify an "afterTab" ID, but Sirius Properties use some generated unstable tabs IDs which are useless here. To workaround that I redefined the EEF tab provider extension, referencing the org.eclipse.sirius.ui.properties.internal.tabprovider.SiriusTabDescriptorProvider. It makes all Sirius tab to go systematically on top (the loading order changed, luckily the way I wanted).
* Several .design contribute sections for the same element. How can I control the sections order ?

Hi William, 

Thanks for the detailed report. 
Nevertheless, it's not yet in the scope of a future release.
