Reorder entered factors when designing a DOE

I was walking an engineer through the Custom DOE platform. As part of our discussion, we decided to add a factor. The team wanted it to be the 2nd factor in the list of 5 factors, 4 of which were already carefully typed into the Custom DOE platform. We could not drag the new factor from the bottom of the list to the middle. 

 

The engineer did not want to have to delete and reenter all of the factors. Given this, I did not suggest saving the factors table and reordering that.

 

We ended up creating the DOE table and moving the column in the table. But it was irritating. This seems like  simple thing to be able to do.

 

In Custom DOE and all of the other DOE platforms, I would like to be able to click and drag a factor (or response) up or down to another spot in the list of factors (or responses). This will save frustration, especially for those new to the DOE platforms.

I have been in this situation several times (new factor to be added and part of a "group" of already existing factors), and I would endorse having the option to reorder the factors list in design creation instead of only being able to reorder the final datatable. It's an important wish, as it will also greatly facilitate the setting of constraints if adding a new factor, and would avoid any error or typo.
