User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

The Sidebar's Tabs pull-down-menu correctly processes the sequence in panels.rdf
correctly.
The Sidebar's Tabs themselves, on the other hand however, are INCORRECTLY sequenced!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make the Sidebar visible (Press F9)

2. Close all Mozilla windows.

3. Make a backup of your panels.rdf (cp panels.rdf panels.rdf.BACKUP)

4. Create a new panels.rdf file with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RDF:RDF xmlns:NC="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#"
         xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:current-panel-list"
                   NC:version="0.1">
    <NC:panel-list resource="rdf:#$XJNOq3"/>
  </RDF:Description>
  <RDF:Seq about="rdf:#$XJNOq3">
    <RDF:li resource="urn:sidebar:panel:bookmarks"/>
    <RDF:li resource="urn:sidebar:panel:history"/>
  </RDF:Seq>
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:panel:history"
                   NC:title="History"
                  
NC:content="chrome://communicator/content/history/history-panel.xul" />
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:panel:bookmarks"
                   NC:title="Bookmarks"
                  
NC:content="chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bm-panel.xul" />
  <RDF:Description about=""
                   NC:exclude="navigator:browser" />
</RDF:RDF>

5. Open a new Mozilla Navigator window.
Actual Results:  
The Sidebar's Tabs pull-down-menu shows:
    Customize Sidebar
    Sidebar Directory
    -----------------
    Bookmarks
    History

The Tabs themselves on the other hand are shown INCORRECTLY sequenced:
    History
    Bookmarks

Expected Results:  
The Tabs themselves should have been shown sequenced like this:
    Bookmarks
    History

To make everything appear as expected, you've to give the tabs themselves in the
same order as the sequence:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RDF:RDF xmlns:NC="http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#"
         xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:current-panel-list"
                   NC:version="0.1">
    <NC:panel-list resource="rdf:#$XJNOq3"/>
  </RDF:Description>
  <RDF:Seq about="rdf:#$XJNOq3">
    <RDF:li resource="urn:sidebar:panel:bookmarks"/>
    <RDF:li resource="urn:sidebar:panel:history"/>
  </RDF:Seq>
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:panel:bookmarks"
                   NC:title="Bookmarks"
                  
NC:content="chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bm-panel.xul" />
  <RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:panel:history"
                   NC:title="History"
                  
NC:content="chrome://communicator/content/history/history-panel.xul" />
  <RDF:Description about=""
                   NC:exclude="navigator:browser" />
</RDF:RDF>
