[Pacemaker] group resource - altering default order

[Nicolaas Stuyt]

Thank you for pointing me at this discussion thread. The configuration
did help me to achieve what I was looking for. Now though I wonder if I
should because of the threads end-point comment.
 
Any idea what the background explanation may be for the comment:
"an unordered and/or uncolocated groups are an abomination"
 
The thread stops with:
-------------------------
Unordered and/or uncolocated groups are an abomination.
Is that enough light?

It's already been discussed a couple times.
