Allow the order of the filter rules to be changed

Submitted by mjflynt on April 23, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

The "Automatically sort e-mail into folders" of the web based Live Mail does not allow for the order to change. After submitting several help tickets with Microsoft, and each time getting a "we are aware of this... but it won't be fixed until a future version" reply. I was told the work around is to delete the filters and re-enter them in the desired order. Well, I have like 20 of them. There should be a way to change the order that doesn't require deleting and re-entering.

Add a mechanism to change the order of these. It could be a index number field or arrows to move up or one down or whatever. Just make it possible. So far as I know, this is not maintainable on the desktop client version.It's been like this FOR YEARS! PLEASE FIX IT!
