 I have registered a sidebar container, setting a name,
 for example

 {{{
 register_sidebar( array(
         'name' => __( 'Test Widget' ),
 ) );

 }}}

 if you move the order in which it gets registered (let's say, you register
 it first and then you decide to move it, and  register second), all the
 widgets inside it will get lost.
 this is due to the ID being generated by default based on its order
 number. so when you change the order, you change the ID, and everything is
 lost.

 attached is a patch that: when given a title, it sets the id by default
 based on the title, and not on the ORDER NUMBER.

 It only uses the order number when no title is given.
