How can I display the vocabulary description? I have a View which displays content by taxonomy term from a particular vocabulary, and everything is going fine... except for one thing. I would like to display the Vocabulary description in the View header. I have succeeded in doing this by creating an attachment in the View which just does a select on the Vocabulary but this seems to me rather cumbersome and I wondered if there is a better way to do it.

Also, although I have succeeded in attaching my Attachment to the main Page in the View, I cannot see any way of controlling the order in which they appear. As it happens, things appear in the order I want but it seems to be more by accident than anything else.
An attachment is the cleanest way to do this using the Views Admin UI. Attachments can be re-ordered in the region they are placed in the parent view.

Another way to do this which requires code is to use hook_views_pre_view() and to create a blank Views Header Area in your views admin area -- then in code via hook_views_pre_view() set the content of that area using PHP to the description of your taxonomy term. But I would recommend trying to stick to the Views Admin for creating your views, as the more custom code you put in files/modules the harder your site is to maintain or change.
