Settings tab position in Automatic Discovery

[camellia]

Hi everyone

In "Interfaces: Neighbors: Automatic Discovery," the Settings tab is located in the first tab position (the most left tab), while the Discovered Hosts tab is located in the last tab position (the most right one). With this order, the Discovered Hosts is not displayed first when a menu item is selected.

Is this the intended order?

In "Reporting: Health" and "Reporting: Unbound DNS", the main information tab is located in the first tab position, while Settings tab is located in the last tab position. With this order, the main information is displayed first when a menu item is selected.

I think this is the natural order.

If you consider it a reporting functionality yes. If you consider it a diagnostic output not.

There's no strict overarching consistency with +20 years of features added, removed and rewritten.

I cited "Reporting: Health" and "Reporting: Unbound DNS" as examples of good usability. I don't necessarily look for consistency.

I think it is appropriate to regard functions that operate temporarily such as "DNS Lookup" and "Trace Route" as diagnostic functions. And regarding the diagnostic function, I think it makes sense to display "Settings" first.

However, since "Automatic Discovery" is a function that operates continuously, wouldn't it be appropriate to regard it as a reporting function? And regarding the reporting function, I think it is appropriate to display the report results first from a usability perspective.
