Reorder Bins based on User Preference!

Hi there,
I'm curious why there isn't an option to reorder bins in the project panel according to user preference in the list view.
For example, why can't I put the "Sequence" bin at the bottom of the list?!

If I want my bins in a particular order I give them numbers.

In List View, the order of project items is based on the sort order of the selected column. In your screenshot, it’s sorting by the Name column. A common trick is to prefix bin names with numbers or special characters to control the order. You can also add numbers to another column and sort by that instead.


In Icon View, you can manually drag items around to arrange them however you like.

I understand how to sort items by columns, similar to the details view in Windows Explorer. I'm also familiar with the custom layout (manual layout) option in Icon view. However, I'm wondering why I don't see an option to reorder items according to user/my preference (in list view). Adding numbers at the beginning of the bins is the most nonsense solution!

1) Yea, you've got a point.

2) As a practical user, I simply do what Paul, Ann, Jarle and others teach ... stopped worrying ... and got on with Life.

 

Yea, there's always annoying things like that.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
