Why don't you read your own words? When I said that the GUI should change if a change was needed, you wrote the following objection:
And why don't YOU read my own words? I already explain why GUI order should NOT change over function order at this stage of the PREVIEW testing, but offer (and give in to your, I think ineptly stupid) option to change the GUI order.

I'm done with you, troll. You're ignored.

If a re-arrange is so important, then I'd re-arrange the UI as it's the "top level" of the feature. Though personally I don't care so long as the options are all there, grouped together logically (ie all under flexible path) and are named the same so I'm not completely confused :)
If the numbers are different then that's a big issue, otherwise there's no reason to argue so much about re-arranging the text-boxes :D
Would a parameter name ("drag" in GUI, "friction" in function) be enough reason? How about the obvoiusly simple reason as to not cause even MORE frustration, irritation, and annoyance to the user/scripter when designing scripts and having to make YET ANOTHER order conversion just to keep things consistent?

It's about consistent UI design, Haravikk et al. This is probably the reason LL is looking to hire a "Usability Expert...to work on the Second Life UI". LL seems to think a degree is necessary for this position--otherwise I'd apply for it...

Yes, that's right. That's what I said. You objected to it, and then later on (after we explained why changing an API for frivolous reasons is a profoundly bad idea) you said you didn't care, so I asked why you were objecting if you didn't care.

Look, you said you're not a programmer. Could you quit making suggestions about programming?

I have no idea what you're referring to as "my ineptly stupid option to change the GUI order". What option?

You're supposed to say "plonk" when you drop someone in your killfile. :)
