I need to be able to order the Canadian GST to appear first/above the provincial taxes. Whether I enter the GST first or last it consistently appears below the provincial taxes.

I found out how to do this.

The trick is to set up separate tax types for National and Provincial Taxes.

Then set up the tax rates based on these two types.

Then in "apply pricing rules" you have the ability to weight the two types of taxes. I believe that the weighting is really about which tax is applied first but it affects the order of display also ... but in reverse.

Ahh, you know, I feel like I may have recommended that approach in the past, but I'm not sure why it didn't come to me when rfay was helping out on this issue. Will definitely leave this open to get actual ordering in for the individual rates - it was part of the original design, and we used to have weighting I thought. In fact, I bet we took it out in favor of just recommending an alternate Rules configuration. You don't have to keep the default tax rules in place - you could instead change it down to just have two separate product pricing rules to apply the Canadian taxes instead of using the rule per tax type -> tax component execution. That should provide effective ordering, but we'll need to make that more apparent and perhaps cook up a screencast for it.

Going to close this out since you had a solution and there's a duplicate issue seeking a UI approach to reorder these on display: #1095576: Allow control of display order of taxes in muti tax setup
