Sounds like the manual wasn't updated to reflect changes in the UI. It used to be possible to hide controls that way, but it no longer is. I had thought it was possible to do it using a text editor, but it appears that setting the IC_Visible tag doesn't work for User Controls the way it does in a Fuse.
You can rearrange your User Controls by copying the tool and pasting it into a text editor—I recommend a programmer's editor like Notepad++. Find the area headed UserControls = ordered() {, and you can cut-and-paste the controls into the order you wish. Just make sure that there's a comma after the bracket enclosing each tool. This image illustrates the danger:
I've circled the end bracket, with its comma. If you were to copy the Blend control above the Center, you'd need to add a comma where the arrow is pointing, or the tool wouldn't work. It doesn't matter whether or not there's a comma there for the very last control, but there definitely needs to be one for each prior control.
Once they've been rearranged the way you like, you can copy the code and paste it back into the Flow view to check it.
Anyway, from the sound of it, it seems like you might want to consider making a macro rather than modifying a tool. That would allow you to more flexibly customize the control panel, and you'd be able to hide expressions on the tools by simply not exposing them in the macro's controls.
There's a useful thread about building macros on We Suck Less:
