+## Ordering Definitions {#sec-option-definitions-ordering .unnumbered}
+
+It is also possible to influence the order in which the definitions for an option are
+merged by setting an *order priority* with `mkOrder`. The default order priority is 1000.
+The functions `mkBefore` and `mkAfter` are equal to `mkOrder 500` and `mkOrder 1500`, respectively.
+As an example,
+
+```nix

+This definition ensures that `myFirmware` comes before other unordered

+# Release 22.11 (“Raccoon”, 2022.11/30) {#sec-release-22.11}
 
-Support is planned until the end of June 2023, handing over to 23.05.
+The NixOS release team is happy to announce a new version of NixOS 22.11. NixOS is a Linux distribution, whose set of packages can also be used on other Linux systems and macOS.
 
-## Highlights {#sec-release-22.11-highlights}
-
-In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
-
-- GNOME has been upgraded to 43. Please take a look at their [Release
-  Notes](https://release.gnome.org/43/) for details.
-
-- During cross-compilation, tests are now executed if the test suite can be executed
-  by the build platform. This is the case when doing “native” cross-compilation
-  where the build and host platforms are largely the same, but the nixpkgs' cross
-  compilation infrastructure is used, e.g. `pkgsStatic` and `pkgsLLVM`. Another
-  possibility is that the build platform is a superset of the host platform, e.g. when
-  cross-compiling from `x86_64-unknown-linux` to `i686-unknown-linux`.
-  The predicate gating test suite execution is the newly added `canExecute`
-  predicate: You can e.g. check if `stdenv.buildPlatform` can execute binaries
-  built for `stdenv.hostPlatform` (i.e. produced by `stdenv.cc`) by evaluating
-  `stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform`.
-
-- The `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` and `nixpkgs.buildPlatform` options have been added.
-  These cover and override the `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` options.
-
-   - `hostPlatform` is the platform or "`system`" string of the NixOS system
-     described by the configuration.
-   - `buildPlatform` is the platform that is responsible for building the NixOS
-     configuration. It defaults to the `hostPlatform`, for a non-cross
-     build configuration. To cross compile, set `buildPlatform` to a different
-     value.
-
-  The new options convey the same information, but with fewer options, and
-  following the Nixpkgs terminology.
-
-  The existing options `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` have not
-  been formally deprecated, to allow for evaluation of the change and to allow
-  for a transition period so that in time the ecosystem can switch without
-  breaking compatibility with any supported NixOS release.
-
-- `emacs` enables native compilation which means:
-  - emacs packages from nixpkgs, builtin or not, will do native compilation ahead of time so you can enjoy the benefit of native compilation without compiling them on you machine;
-  - emacs packages from somewhere else, e.g. `package-install`, will do asynchronously deferred native compilation. If you do not want this, maybe to avoid CPU consumption for compilation, you can use `(setq native-comp-deferred-compilation nil)` to disable it while still enjoy the benefit of native compilation for packages from nixpkgs.
-
-- `nixos-generate-config` now generates configurations that can be built in pure
-  mode. This is achieved by setting the new `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` option.
-
-  You may have to unset the `system` parameter in `lib.nixosSystem`, or similarly
-  remove definitions of the `nixpkgs.{system,localSystem,crossSystem}` options.
-
-  Alternatively, you can remove the `hostPlatform` line and use NixOS like you
-  would in NixOS 22.05 and earlier.
-
-- PHP now defaults to PHP 8.1, updated from 8.0.
-
-- PHP is now built `NTS` (Non-Thread Safe) style by default, for Apache and
-  `mod_php` usage we still enable `ZTS` (Zend Thread Safe). This has been a
-  common practice for a long time in other distributions.
-
-- PHP 8.2.0 RC 6 is available.
-
-- `protonup` has been aliased to and replaced by `protonup-ng` due to upstream not maintaining it.
-
-- Perl has been updated to 5.36, and its core module `HTTP::Tiny` was patched to verify SSL/TLS certificates by default.
-
-- Improved performances of `lib.closePropagation` which was previously quadratic. This is used in e.g. `ghcWithPackages`. Please see backward incompatibilities notes below.
-
-- Cinnamon has been updated to 5.4. While at it, the cinnamon module now defaults to
-  blueman as bluetooth manager and slick-greeter as lightdm greeter to match upstream.
-
-- OpenSSL now defaults to OpenSSL 3, updated from 1.1.1.
-
-- An image configuration and generator has been added for Linode images, largely based on the present GCE configuration and image.
-
-- `hardware.nvidia` has a new option `open` that can be used to opt in the opensource version of NVIDIA kernel driver. Note that the driver's support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is still alpha quality, see [NVIDIA Releases Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/) for the official announcement.
-
-<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
-
-## New Services {#sec-release-22.11-new-services}
-

+In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release includes the following highlights:
 
-- [infnoise](https://github.com/leetronics/infnoise), a hardware True Random Number Generator dongle.
-  Available as [services.infnoise](options.html#opt-services.infnoise.enable).
+- Software that uses the `crypt` password hashing API is now using the implementation provided by [`libxcrypt`](https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt) instead of glibc's, which enables support for more secure algorithms.
+  - Support for algorithms that `libxcrypt` [does not consider strong](https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt/blob/v4.4.28/lib/hashes.conf#L41) are **deprecated** as of this release, and will be removed in NixOS 23.05.
+  - This includes system login passwords. Given this, we **strongly encourage** all users to update their system passwords, as you will be unable to login if password hashes are not migrated by the time their support is removed.
+    - When using `users.users.<name>.hashedPassword` to configure user passwords, run `mkpasswd`, and use the yescrypt hash that is provided as the new value.
+    - On the other hand, for interactively configured user passwords, simply re-set the passwords for all users with `passwd`.
+    - This release introduces warnings for the use of deprecated hash algorithms for both methods of configuring passwords. To make sure you migrated correctly, run `nixos-rebuild switch`.
 
-- [kthxbye](https://github.com/prymitive/kthxbye), an alert acknowledgement management daemon for Prometheus Alertmanager. Available as [services.kthxbye](options.html#opt-services.kthxbye.enable)

-- [endlessh](https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh), an SSH tarpit. Available as [services.endlessh](#opt-services.endlessh.enable).
+- Linode cloud images are now supported by importing `${modulesPath}/virtualisation/linode-image.nix` and accessing `system.build.linodeImage` on the output.
 
-- [endlessh-go](https://github.com/shizunge/endlessh-go), an SSH tarpit that exposes Prometheus metrics. Available as [services.endlessh-go](#opt-services.endlessh-go.enable).
+- `hardware.nvidia` has a new option, `hardware.nvidia.open`, that can be used to enable the usage of NVIDIA's open-source kernel driver. Note that the driver's support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is still alpha quality, see [the release announcement](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/) for more information.
 
-- [Garage](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/), a simple object storage server for geodistributed deployments, alternative to MinIO. Available as [services.garage](#opt-services.garage.enable).

+- The EC2 image module no longer fetches instance metadata in stage-1. This results in a significantly smaller initramfs, since network drivers no longer need to be included, and faster boots, since metadata fetching can happen in parallel with startup of other services.
+  This breaks services which rely on metadata being present by the time stage-2 is entered. Anything which reads EC2 metadata from `/etc/ec2-metadata` should now have an `after` dependency on `fetch-ec2-metadata.service`
