Allow Resequencing and Delete options for Filters in RDi

When changing an existing Member, File, or Library filter, you're choice is to add filter entries. I would like to be able to delete existing filter entries and resquence the existing entries so that the (in this case) members appear in my desired order. For example, I want the C++ H file members to appear after the QCSRC members. But if I add QCSRC first and then H the sequence if fixed. I can't drag them to a new order. I would like to. Both the context menu options CHANGE and Properties (which seem to do the same thing) need to have this resequencing capability.

    .Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    About a day after I posted this another developer here said... Um Bob, you just right-click on the directory tree. It is good enough, but the Change dialog shouldn't be restricted from doing the same thing either IMHO. Thanks.

    Are you aware that these options exist in RSE Filters?
    1. Right-click the filter in the RSE tree and select Properties.
    2. Click on Filter Strings, then select the Filter String you wish to move or delete under Filter Strings: and right-click to bring up the menu.
    Just wondering if this is enough for you.
