Comment (by dchichkov):

 This is a bug. And perhaps the best solution is to restore previous
 behaviour.  That is restore the natural sequence of the builders in
 waterfall.  This behaviour was intuitive and was working well for
 thousands of users for about a decade.  I do not see any reasons why it
 should have been changed.


 The argument of 'multi-master' is a rather weak argument as a multi-master
 configuration is/[& will be] used by only a few users in the world, while
 a simple, single masted configuration is already being used by thousands.
 And scrambling that display order creates an issue for all these users. A
 hotfix of adding '00-', '01-' etc. is ridiculous; it kills build history,
 displays internal bowls to users and just a bad style. Adding a
 "display_order" parameter also a bit redundant and have that non-pythonic
 feel, but at least an acceptable solution.


 Again, previous behaviour was intuitive and was working well for thousands
 of users for about a decade.  I do not see any reasons why it should be
 changed.
