On sites with the global setting "Pretty-Print configuration files" enabled, the order of notification parameters (Setup > Events > Notifications > Parameters for notification methods) could not be changed: reordering them via drag & drop appeared to work, but the list reverted to a seemingly arbitrary order after reloading the page.

The pretty-printer sorted the internal, randomly generated parameter identifiers when writing the configuration file, discarding the order you had arranged. The configured order of notification parameters is now preserved regardless of this setting.

Already affected configurations cannot recover their originally intended order automatically, but reordering will work and persist from now on.
