Hi John, Thanks very much for your continued contributions. I've applied your patches described below to change set revision 8012:5fc775a03f0b, which will be available in the Galaxy release currently scheduled for about 2 weeks from now.

Hey Greg & Galaxy Team,
Galaxy doesn't load tool sections from multiple files in a consistent manner. This is a minimal example that demonstrates the problem:
https://bitbucket.org/jmchilton/galaxy-central-tool-load-example https://bitbucket.org/jmchilton/galaxy-central-tool-load-example/compare
This example specifies two sections, Section 1 and Section 2. The first time you load up Galaxy, Section 1 appears first followed by Section 2. On every subsequent time Galaxy is loaded, Section 2 appears first followed by Section 1.
I have attached the smallest patch I could come up with to fix this problem.
While I was in that file, I noticed that a standing request I had the defunct bug tracker to allow directories to appear in the tool_config_file option is easy to implement, so I have attached a patch for that as well if you are so inclined.
Thanks for your time, -John
