I've got a couple problems with Widget Icons.

Unable to change the direction that widgets are growing. They always grow up, regardless of where they are anchored. I can
anchor the widgets below the health bar, but the widgets grow up, so they appear
inside/behind my health bar... How do I change the growth direction to down?

Unable to change the position of Buffs, Debuffs, and CC's separate from each other. Nor can I combine them in to one row.
All three are locked "together" and "separate" at the same time. How can I unlock them or combine them?

Unable to change the order that widgets appear. Buffs are always above Debuffs. How can I change this to the opposite?

There is an option to change the grow direction under Auras - Appearance - Placement. There, you can select, e.g., Top-to-bottom.

There other two things are currently not possible. It's been requested a lot, but it requires some work, so I did not yet find the time to implement htis.

Thank you for the clarification!

Unfortunately, I have messed with the option under Auras - Appearance - Placement (Top-to-bottom & Bottom-to-top) and it does not seem to change anything.

The icons still grow upwards, regardless of which of the two options I pick or where it is anchored.

Hm, that's not what should happen. Can you post a screenshot of your settings or send me a IM with your settings file? I'll try to find out why it does not work.
