man what a F'd up commissioner

Like I said I was asleep. As for my brother, who knows?
What I'd like to know is what this means, "WP changed from 'old order' to 'new order'"

It means the commish (he's the only one who has the power to do this) rearranged the waiver priority order, to one that he defined.

Exactly. Basically what it looks like is that he dropped Howard from your team and then changed the changed to waiver priority settings to 0, allowing him to immediately pick Howard up.
