In the source there is a comment relating to location:


%D Regular list entries are bound to a specific location in order to get the right
%D pagenumber etc.\ associated. When pushing something inbetween (in mkiv) it ends
%D up directtly in the list. This is the default because otherwise users will wonder
%D why spacing might get messed up (due to an unseen but present node). It is
%D possible to force a location by explicitly setting \type {location} to \type
%D {here}.
%D
%D Another way to force a certain order is to set the \type {order} variable when
%D placing a list. The \type {command} option only pushes commands into the right
%D order, and \type {all} orders all entries (which might be too much). In this case
%D no specific location is needed with the inbetween method. Maybe additional
%D mechanisms show up some day. See \type {inbetween-001.tex} for an example.

I don't really understand what capability the comment is referring to let alone be able to create an example demonstrating the difference.
