Order of predictors under profiler

[#1]

Hello all, 

    I have been gravitating more and more to the profiler and was wondering one thing: when you do a desirability analysis, the order of the predictors changes. It doesn't go to alphabetical order, nor does it follow the order in which the predictors are listed in the JMP data table. Instead, are they getting ordered with respect to something else, such as their impact on the model or their desirabilities? I did see that I can change the order under "Appearance" to basically override the order created by JMP, but I suspect the X's are ordered in a logical way! Does anyone know?

Never mind, I figured it out! But if anyone out there is reading this and had the same question, the answer is: I had done an "assess variable importance" analysis, and the predictors were automatically re-ordered to match their relative influence on the model, i.e., from most to least important.
