Support to select which page is shown in File preview instead of first page

Sometimes when using e.g. Word Plugins to generate flow charts, Word stores the script on first page and the actual flow chart is on second page. This is not usable for users viewing Modules: they would like to see the flow chart instead of script...

Module View: Provide depth and order for each artifact as system attribute that can also be exportable
