Hello. Yes, you are correct, it is in alphabetical order (v3.70). I did not check that, good to know. However: For certain arrangements switches in alphabetical order are not desirable, they very much need to be arrangable in a logical order. I am running into all kinds of limitations (see my other posts, would especially be great to get some input in regards to [charger limit/DVCC](https://community.victronenergy.com/t/dvcc-activated-v3-70-noess-limit-grid-charging-trough-multiplus2-in-a-flexible-way-how/54265/5)) - limitations which I think are so unnecessary, because it seems to be so basic what is needed/demanded. If only alphabetical woks as of today, I wonder about two things: 1st: Did you guys not consider that alphabetical might be the wrong order from a logical switch arrangement perspective? All other software usually has something like a “weight” setting for a visual element - simple and effective. 2nd: Will there be an update, is the usefulness of an order-option aside from alphabetical recognized? I mean, I could name my switches 1-name, 2-name, etc. But how shall that look on the end-user screen, not very professional from my perspective. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.victronenergy.com/t/nodered-victron-virtual-switches-in-gui-v2-order/54454)._
