 Starting with Trac 0.11, it is now possible to customize the main and meta navigation entries in some basic ways.
 
-The new `[mainnav]` and `[metanav]` configuration sections can now be used to customize the text and link used for the navigation items, or even to disable them.

 === `[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 and 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.

+In the following example, we change the order to prioritise the ticket related items further left.

 Note that it is still not possible to customize the '''contextual navigation bar''', i.e. the one usually placed below the main navigation bar.
