Is your feature request related to a problem?

The possibility to move defined FlightModes up/down in the FLIGHT MODES menu, and by doing that change the priority for the moved FM.

Describe the solution you'd like

When selecting a FM there will be a 'Move' choice. Like the 'Move' choice in the MIXES menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Order doesn't change priority - moving them would be an entirely cosmetic change. The "priority" is merely one of whether the enabling "switch" condition is true. It would be nice though to be able to re-order them visually.

Try this FM2 = SC down FM3 = SC down AND SD down compared to FM2 = SC down AND SD down FM3 = SC down regarding priority.

Sorry my friend, this is inaccurate

Quoting OpenTX manual: "The priority of the flight modes is such as the first FM of 1-8 that has its switch ON is the active one. When none has its switch ON, the default FM0 is active."

True... (although doesn't this mean you've been daft enough to also effectively make it so you only have two flight modes?) but you are quoting the wrong manual, just in case you haven't noticed! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

FM2 = SC down FM3 = SC down AND SD down compared to FM2 = SC down AND SD down FM3 = SC down

How? Via an AND logical switch for SCdn and SDdn? As you can only use one switch for flight mode. If you do that, I see your point there... where first configuration only lets FM2 work regardless of SD position, whereas the second lets both FM2 and FM3 work. This is where I mispoke before, because the first valid match effectively blocks all the other FMs...

I just wanted to show the logic regarding FM priority in the comment above.

The way you do it with EdgeTX is by using Logical Switches (Lnn). L01: Function = AND ; V1 = SC down L02: Function = AND ; V1 = SC down ; V2 = SD down

FM2: Switch = L01 FM3: Switch = L02

(For glider competition we have a lot of FM:s)

I purposefully did to show it has been like that for ages :)
