Well I guess the thinking with the Database at the bottom is it isn't 
something you're going to change very much. The cursor is automatically 
placed in the Location box which is fairly user-friendly.

The order of the descriptions could be changed though as it is most 
likely to be read by a new user and ease of introduction should be more 
important here. I'm going to be away for a few days so will look at it 
next week. The wording of the database description would need to be 
slightly changed to avoid it looking out of place at the top.
