I'd really appreciate the ability to visually rearrange files in the DM file browser by simple clicking and dragging. This would simply switch the import order.

Currently, the only way to do this is to disable the include checkbox, then manually edit the include order in the DME. This creates a disparity between the visual feedback that the file list gives you and the actual state of the project, which is a bit of a problem.

I agree this would be helpful, although I have to admit it's very low on the totem pole right now. (There are workarounds, such as prefixing files with a number.) The tree code in Dream Maker is nightmarish, and I'm not certain if there are string comparisons being done to decide on insertion points, that would be thrown off by this. Also refreshing of the tree would have to take the .dme's order into account.
