title: RabbitMQ Queue peeking
body: <p>I am new to RabbitMQ and I have a question on get messages option in management plugin. It says "Clicking 'Get Message(s)' will consume messages from the queue. If requeue is set, the message will be re-added to the queue, but ordering will not be preserved and 'redelivered' will be set."</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.rabbitmq.general/12034" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This article</a> says </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>In the next version of rabbit (after v2.6.1) the order will not be 
    destroyed when requeueing messages. Messages will be requeued to the 
    front of the queue, meaning that you can "peek" at the head of the 
    queue. You can make use of the management interface or use an AMQP 
    client to do this.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So why management plugin says the ordering will not be preserved? I am just trying to understand which is one correct? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  <p>The management plugin did not get updated it seems. I'll fix that. 
  Thanks for pointing it out.</p>
