Items list is sorted based on its order property. Lower order values are placed higher in the list. If a item does not have a value assigned for the order (or is equal to the default order of 0), it will be assigned the a value based on the given order sequence integer. If two or more items share the same order value, all but the last item found in the list will be removed.
