For those that hate the most recent Google Maps redesign and miss some of the features that were removed (the multiple search boxes, reordering destinations, collapsing directions), there's a link for the previous interface: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&view=text. The explanation is that Google didn't update the interface for the "text view", an option that minimizes the map and focuses on the search results.
This is just a temporary workaround until Google adds the missing features.

Update: you can now reorder destinations in the standard interface.
