Ability to reorder filter list #428

Sorry for spamming you with feature requests, last one, promise!

For those of us who save a lot of filters, it'd be nice to be able to change the order of items in the filter list so we could visually group similar searches together. Maybe something like the mockup below. image

I'm guessing, since one filter can be dependent on another filter/macro, that this isn't as simple as it seems at first. If it's not feasible, I can just edit the config file, but it would be a nice feature! :grin:

That's already on my TODO list and I started working on that when I added the custom filters, but there were some theming issues, where the buttons to the right didn't look great. But that's something that should be easy to fix.

Great to hear!

... and I started working on that when I added the custom filters, but there were some theming issues, where the buttons to the right didn't look great. But that's something that should be easy to fix.

Just to say, it wouldn't matter to me if it was on the left. The only reason I put it there (aside from looking balanced) was because I was afraid a user (me :grin: ) might click the "Restore default filters" button accidentally. That button doesn't ask for confirmation before it resets, so it seemed sensible to give it a wide berth (although I realise that I can click cancel on the preferences dialog to avoid losing my filters).
