Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues

I have 4 monitors. The order in which they appear in the dropdown seems random. Top to bottom, I now see:

DELL S2721QS (2)
HISENSE
Built-in Retina Display
DELL S2721QS (1)

I would like to see:

HISENSE
DELL S2721QS (1)
DELL S2721QS (2)
Built-in Retina Display

Alex

Describe the solution you'd like

Reorder list either in dropdown by drag items to reorder the list, or similar in the preferences.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Anything else?

Thanks for great software! :-)

This feature was added to BetterDisplay (via ordering strings) and not planned in MonitorControl as the current feature set is considered final by the team for this app.
