Order of widgets on panel, panel layout & injecting views

Thank you everyone so far who have supported me on my Filament journey! At the moment, I'm struggling to understand: 1) How to change the order of widgets in a panel? I've tried changing the order in the panel provider, changing the sort attribute inside widget, but it doesn't seem to work. 2) In the attached picture there is a "hidden" widget between the two visible widgets. How can I control the grid, so that the spacing works correctly? 3) I have bunch of things I want to conditionally enable on pages, panels and resources. I have a render hook, but I can't really conveniently send any data to view that's included that way. Also getFooter doesn't allow me to send any data from widget. I can't really remember banging my head against the wall quite so much with any other framework I've been learning. I feel like I'm missing some fundamental understanding of the framework... Or maybe Filament and me are just not compatible. Any help here is appreciated! Once I learn it well enough, there are at least couple of things I will promise to document for the community if they don't exist / someone else doesn't get there before me: 1) Structure of a request (what gets called at what point, what data is available) 2) Order of rendering things 3) General architectural diagram
