In the program editor, the boxes that shows which elements and events are being programmed...is it possible to make these a bit wider?

Also, is there any way to sort the element names in the drop down list?

I would like Element Name to definitely be wider.  I have a large number of elements whose names all start with a common identifier (for example "VEHICLE_CODE_1_RATE", "VEHICLE_CODE_2_RATE", and so on).  For elements such as these, while working on the programming, all that shows in the box is "VEHICLE_CODE".  It can be confusing, especially if I should click on the drop-down and accidentally scroll to some other element (that scroll is slippery).

The Event name only needs to be a little bit wider to showcase the longest event, "On Element Immediate Change".  I'm curious as to why its width was chosen as it is.

The last, the combo, seems comfortably sized as is.

That sounds super, where can I buy it?

Thanks!

One other, unrelated question (still in the general topic of "cosmetics"):

I notice that when I merge databases into my larger application, the list of forms follows the order of merging.  For instance, in my application Miara.db I started with a Customer database.  Then, over the course of time, I merged Tarriff, Workorder, and Equipment into the app.  So when I open the application the list of forms reads, from top to bottom:
Customer
Tarriff
Workorder
Lookup Table (Workorder had one)
Equipment

Is there a way to change this sequence?  I looked at Application Properties but did not see anything that seemed to relate.

So...does that mean there is a hard way, but still a way?

Hi Ray.

Thanks--I knew you'd know a way!

Actually the reason, I seem to remember, is this: The dropdown was made wide enough for the longest event. That was "On FIELD Immediate Change". When we standardised on "Element" the width was not adjusted.
