Illustrator's Asset Export enhancement

There are a couple of tweeks that would improve by a tenfold the Asset export on Illustrator.

 

First one would be the possibilty of reorganize the assets inside the Asset export window after you dropped them. Sometimes you need to change an asset and the "upgrade" abilty of the tool doesn't always work (you either changed too much the groups, redraw it...) and the new Asset drag-dropped on the window goes right to the bottom of the list. This is specially annoying when you have everything classified and, suddendly, you have the second asset of your list at the end of the Assets.

This option would help to keep everything clean and organized.

 

The other functionality is more or less related with the previous one: the capability of overlaping one asset with another. IIt would go like this: You have all assets already named in the Asset Export window. You decide to change one completely > the asset is drag-dropped inside the window but instead of "adding" at the bottom, it highlights the one you are near to, creating a substituiton but maintaining the name.

 

As it stands right now, Asset Export is way less functional than it should be. At least Photoshop allows you to add a sufix + export layers at a fast pace without much trouble...
