Report Section Order

`ReportSection.order` is an integer that determines the position of this section relative to other sections in the same ReportPackage when the document is rendered.

The order field on a ReportSection controls the sequence of chapters in your compliance report. Lower numbers appear earlier in the document — for example, order 1 for the Introduction, order 2 for Site Background, order 3 for Methods, and so on. You can reorder sections by changing their order values without rewriting content. When you add a new section mid-report, assign it an order value between the two sections it should fall between. Piper sorts sections by this number at render time, so the final PDF reflects the intended structure.
