The order can be set in the entity definition using facet_groups(). It's 
been used in ACI, DNS, and automount because the default ordering 
doesn't produce the desired results.

I think it would be unnatural not to show the first facet in the first 
group, so the default facet needs to be in the first group. The problem 
is the default facet could be different for every entity, so assigning 
the same order for everything might not work. On the other hand, 
changing the order for every entity will make it inconsistent too.

The summary page is a new facet that will act as the default facet 
(which is placed first), so we will not need to worry about the order of 
the other facets. The assumption is most people will open an entry to 
view some important data only. Not everything is important and they 
might not need to update anything either. So with a summary page for 
majority of people things can be done in less mouse clicks.
