Some things are easier, some things aren't, and some things just aren't as familiar since their locations have changed.

> Two queries, how do you change the order of your layouts. There used to be a simple option under 'Layouts', its gone and I can't seem to find where that option has gone. Also, you used to be able to drag a new field onto the layout from the tools margin on the left, can you do that now from somewhere else ?

File -> Manage -> Layouts

Yes, with some caveats about indexing (make sure your clients are using 8.5v2). There were features added in 9 and 10 as well - be sure you're also not using those.
