Need to be able to change the order of Views in Display Elements
« on: February 08, 2022, 01:37:36 PM »
Is there any reason why we cannot change the order of views in the Edit Display Elements window?  I saw that this topic was brought up back in 2015 but could not determine if any changes were made to this function.    At this point, the only way that I can see to change the order of the views is to delete them one by one and recreate them in the order that I want them to be in.  Am I missing somethin?

Is it on an open enhancement request?  Even if it is there are hundreds of open requests so it just takes someone wanting it bad enough that can write the code.  I can tell you a quick way to fix it without waiting for a code change.  Just open up the xlights_rgbeffects.xml file in Notepad++ and reorder the entries for those view names.
