I'm not sure which is the correct place to post since I access the ACR Filter via Photoshop 2025. So, I posted under the Ps Community initially.
Here's a link to the bug/issue that developed on Feb. 14 when I updated to ACR 17.2 & that I reported in that other forum just now:

I updated to Adobe Camera Raw 17.2 on Feb. 14 (call me a romantic ...) on my Win 11 Pro desktop PC. I'm running Ps 2025.
Post update to the latest ACR the positioning of my "panels" in ACR changed my Custom organization in a way I don't like. But there's no way to correct it.
The Lens Blur panel is now at the very top of the righthand column (above Profile, etc.). I'd had it down below Curve near the bottom of the righthand panel b/c I rarely use it. There is no way to correct this new layout.
When I right click in that righthand column to edit the order, Lens Blur does Not appear in the list. And, there's a blank space down toward the bottom of the list (I assume that's where I'd had Lens Blur before the update and it became filter non grata). I'll attach a Snip.
Just for giggles I tried checking the box on that empty line to make it active (it now shows as Off & unlabeled by default) to see if I could move it around. It made no difference. Lens Blur was still not recognized and still couldn't be moved back to where I'd had it.
Lens Blur Not in Edit Panels for me to Move
Someone from Adobe, Pls. how come Lens Blur does not appear in that Edit layout list? And, how can I correct the positioning so Lens Blur is not at the very top of my ACR panels list? I'm seeing all sorts of bug reports re: the latest Ps update too which worries me b/c I create "how to" Ps videos for my YouTube channel.
Thx in advance.

I would try a reset of the Camera Raw preferences:

I can't replicate this. Try resetting Camera Raw Preferences.

Another option would be to click on the "Default Order" button in the "Edit Panel to Show" dialog which should put the Lens Blur panel down below between Optics and Calibration.
