This often didn't make sense in a real home, where your guest bathroom shouldn't appear before your living room, and the attic is rarely more relevant than the main floor. -Now you can go to {% my areas title="**Settings** > **Areas, labels & zones**" %} and manually drag and drop any area or floor to reorder them.
