Story of my life...  I often seem to hit issues early... :/   :)

True.  However, order can be altered in many ways :) including the
current interface.  The way I handled the previous instance (I run 2 CMs
on this machine; 3 if testing) was to give the sets of rules (where order
is important) names which sort as desired...  Users (like me :) don't
think of sorting as we add filters; until the set becomes so large as to
be no longer manageable... 

Truth be told, I'd be happy just with an improved quicksearch...  :)

Thanks for the feedback,
