 === `[mainnav]` #mainnav-bar
+`[mainnav]` corresponds to the '''main navigation bar''', the one containing entries such as ''Wiki'', ''Timeline'', ''Roadmap'', ''Browse Source'' and so on. This navigation bar is meant to access the default page of the main modules enabled in Trac that are accessible for the current user.

-=== `[trac]` #nav-order
 
-The `mainnav` and `metanav` options in the `[trac]` configuration section control the order in which the navigation items are displayed (left to right). This can be useful with plugins that add navigation items.
+=== Ordering #nav-order
+The `order` attribute specifies the order in which the navigation items are displayed. This can be particularly useful for plugins that add navigation items.
 
-** Example ** 
+Non-negative floating point values may be used for the `order` attribute. The navigation items will be arranged from left to right in increasing order. Navigation items without an `order` attribute are sorted alphabetically by name.
 
-In the following example, we change the order to prioritise the ticket related items further left.
+The default values are:
+{{{#!ini
+[mainnav]
+browser.order = 4
+newticket.order = 6
+roadmap.order = 3
+search.order = 7
+tickets.order = 5
+timeline.order = 2
+wiki.order = 1
