Public bug reported:

The horizon plugin framework does not allow to override default panel
settings by same filename. This leads to make operators difficult to
change the order of panels from the default.

The horizon document says that "The settings are applied in alphabetical
order of the filenames. If the same dashboard has configuration files in
enabled and local/enabled, the local name will be used." [1]  but
actually both files are processed in the order of 'enabled' and then
'local/enabled'. This means the default dashboard is once registered in
all cases.

This sometimes makes things difficult.
For example, if we move the floating IP panel just after the Router panel, we need to disable the default enabled file _1490_project_floating_ips_panel.py by adding a file with the same filename which contains DISABLED =True and then add locale/enabled/_1450_project_floating_ips_panel.py (for example).
