P: Multiple and reorder/sort effects/styles

I would love to be able to have 2 different drop shadows, inner shadows, gradients etc in a single layer. Very often I have to dupe the layer, put 0 fill and apply extra styles that way. It's inconvenient and messy, especially when trying to apply the same effect onto other layers.

Also, it would be great if I were able to sort the effects. Meaning, I could put drop shadow above or below inner shadow, stroke above the inner shadow and bevel, etc.

Since layer groups can now have styles, it gives an workaround to change their order.

@Adobe: what do you think?

Any news regarding this request?

I like being able to stack multiple strokes and fills into a single Illustrator object.

Being able to do something similar in a PSD layer would be a great help.

I think it should be the exact same principle as in the layers panel. Two buttons below this list one for adding new effects (dropdown) and one for deleting selected effects.

That's how to do it! how can we get this in front of Adobe. Nice work. I'd also like to be able to add another, and another, and another of each Effect, so for example I would end up with 2 or 3 stroke layers on top of each other. Roy do you feel like UI designing this for us too? 🙂
