feature request: sort list of layouts #646

a new layout is always added below the last existing layout. that is ok.

the ability to sort the list of layouts would be great, if you want to switch between specific layouts with the switch_forward and switch_backward keys.

just wanted to play around with a custom numpad layout, which needs to be directly behind my main layout in the list to switch between the two.

Ideally, you'd be able to drag any entry in the list to the desired location. I see this UI often and hope there are tools to avoid the tedious work of devising the correct visual feedback.

Work-around: If you have the XML code lying around, you could re-install to get the desired sequence.

yes, with enough copy/delete/add/paste this is possible, but very inconvenient.

if the current list does not easily allow drag&drop, it would be ok to add simple move up and move down buttons to the end of each row. the (mostly redundant) row label could be reduced from "Layout 1:" to "1." to free up some space for additional buttons.

of course drag&drop would look much better…

Please, at most one button, with legend .... I think the vast majority of users won't share my zeal for customizing but will make do with the standard layout, and many who do will not have three or more layouts. (Two don't have to be sorted to make next/previous work right.)
