Reorder Probes

Status: New

Wouldn't it be nice if Probes window had a drag'n'drop reorder functionality, maybe even a Sort?

 

Often you (I) place a couple of probes, maybe add some in another VI and then go back and add one earlier in a block diagram. 

Is this a problem? Well, it's not breaking, but i'd like probe 1 to be the earliest executed probe and so on. Often execution order can easily be something like 13, 19, 3 and drag'n'drop #3 below the #19 would the shift them as 3, 13, 19. (Similar to how Reorder Case works)

 

It'd be nice if you could drag this probe in the probe window and it'd change numbers accordingly (switch/reorder within the VI).

Maybe even have Sort button that simply renumbers all as they're shown in the probe window.

 

 

It's somewhat similar, but different, to Altenbachs switcheroo idea: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Probe-switcheroo/idi-p/3126138

This would help.

 

Esp. with error checking, where you (I) work up to the problem from both the back and front, iteratively.

 

Sorting on Last Update time would be useful as well, esp. if Last Update got a ms value (sigh).

Adding a ms part to the Last update should be quite easy (make tick boxable?) and could be quite useful.
