I noticed when really using the Properties (formerly "Effect Stack") widget, that the order of the stack goes from top to bottom. So, the top effect is applied first, then the ones below it. Personally, this seems a little counter-intuitive. It's just an opinion, but I feel that the bottom effect should be processed first, followed by the one above it, then the one above it, and finally the one on the top. I feel that the heirarchy of a "stack" is starting at the bottom, then building to the top, you know? So, I wanted to suggest that the order in which effects are processed in the Properties widget is reversed from its current configuration. I suggest the bottom effect be applied first, and the top effect be applied last.

Jesse, I found the actual order to be intuitive, but maybe that's because I consider it to be a list rather than a stack. But then I always liked Casio calculators, but never HPs. ;)
If it's deemed best to keep things as they currently are, feel free to close this bug with "wontfix". Alternatively, maybe there can be a button in the Properties Widget that can change the order of the stack? By default set to "Top-to-bottom", but left-clicking would enable the button and switch it to "Bottom-to-top"? Just brainstorming, here.
Hi Jesse, thanks for your report. I think it is best to maintain it using the top-to-bottom paradigm.
