Adjustment Panel Order (split)

[N A]

Now in Affinity Photo 2, I am in the Photo Persona and want to use Adjustments. However, the tools in the Adjustment panel are in a seemingly random and wacky order that makes no sense. I am not interested in White Balance, HSL, Recolor, or Black & White, but they are all near the top of the list. The very first thing I tried when seeing this panel was to reorder the Adjustments to put the ones I need at the top - but I can't, so have to scroll all the time. It seems strange that I can drag to rearrange the presets within each Adjustment, but you forgot to make it possible to rearrange the Adjustments themselves?

Please can you make it possible to drag the Adjustments into a preferred order? It is little daily teeth-grinders like this that take the sheen off Affinity products.

Hi @N A,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
The order of the adjustments in the Adjustments panel is the same as in V1 - we haven't made changes here. I do understand users may want to change the default order to something else that better suits their needs.
I've split and moved your post from the Feedback for the Affinity V1 Products [ARCHIVE] to Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products section as a new thread which is the current/active place where to post feedback/requests for the new V2.
Thanks for your feedback.

+1 I would also love to be able to rearrange the order of the Adjustments panel.

+1. I would REALLY like to be able to change the order of Adjustments. I don't use half of them, so those ones are just in the way. And the ones I do use, I would prefer to be able to change the order of them. Being able to group them into folders would also be handy (for example, a folder for "Frequently-used" and one for "Rarely-used").

I second this. The order of the Adjustment panel items makes no sense. It’s very difficult to find anything there. I wish they were at least sorted A-Z, but they aren’t.

The ability to manually change the order of the items is extremely needed!

I'm having a hard time to re-organize the items in the Adjustment panel.  I'm so glad I've found some discussion here.  Please Affinity, this issue is really important to all of us using Photo 2.  We appreciate your work to improve your product.

i totally agree with the idea that options in adjustment should be able to re-order and hidden. hope this improvement will be taken place soon.

To be honest I think that saying that this is "really important to all of us" is putting it a bit strongly! I, for one, can certainly think of quite a few issues that are more important to me than reordering items in the Adjustments Panel! In fact, I'm sure that there are many people who don't bother to use the Adjustments Panel at all, and prefer using the Adjustments in the Layers Panel. However, I would agree that it is something that would be helpful and should be implemented at some point.
