Sequence of messages in the message area

Question

Hello,
does anyone knows how to influence the sequence of messages?
While appending messages to the message manager with flag is_permant = abap_true the new message is appended below existing messages.
I would like to get the the new message displayed above the old message.
any ideas?
regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Using the paramter msg_index we can set the index of the message we raise.
I raised 2 messages with msg_index as 1, first I raised message text 'Error1' and later message 'Error2'.
In the Window Error2 message is displayed first(top) and the Error1 is displayed below it.
Sample code:
  DATA lo_api_controller     TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller.
  DATA lo_message_manager    TYPE REF TO if_wd_message_manager.
  DATA:
    lr_api_compctrl     TYPE REF TO if_wd_component,
    lr_api_appl         TYPE REF TO if_wd_application,
    lr_appl_info        TYPE REF TO if_wd_rr_application,
    lr_curr_ctrl        TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller,
    lr_cmp_usage        TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
    lx_exception        TYPE REF TO cx_wdk_controller.      "#EC NEEDED
  lo_api_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
  CALL METHOD lo_api_controller->get_message_manager
    RECEIVING
      message_manager = lo_message_manager.
  lr_api_compctrl = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  lr_curr_ctrl ?= lr_api_compctrl.
      report message
  CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_error_message
    EXPORTING
      message_text             = 'error1'
      is_permanent             = 'X'
      controller_permanent_msg = lr_curr_ctrl
      msg_index                = 1.
  CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_error_message
    EXPORTING
      message_text             = 'error2'
      is_permanent             = 'X'
      controller_permanent_msg = lr_curr_ctrl
      msg_index                = 1.
