As far as I know of, there's no way to do it. Now, here's the rub. If SOE ever does put in counter-clockwise HOs we're going to have to add in dynamic reordering code. Right now all HOs run in 1-6-5-4-3-2 order, but a counter-clockwise HO would run in the (logically) correct order 1-2-3-4-5-6. This works fine on a circular arrangement like SOE's default uses, but on any of our inline mods it we'd end up with blank slots between the first and rest of the icons for one direction or the other. Hm…guess that's one more thing for me to look into.

(And I really should make a version of my HO wheel that doesn't require the 2 1MB BlackMarble background images )

Edit: After a quick look, there doesn't seem to be any way we can cause an order change based on HO direction. It uses a single image with 3 styles, and the style used is determined by the server. The only thing I can think of is to use an OnShow tied to a comparative statement, but I don't think we can compare text strings?
with the new if statement thing you could compare what the style is set to, because the arrow has a different style depending on what it points, maybe you checked this already though
