set/change miniwindow z order independent of name

I believe that changing the z-order of different miniwindows currently requires deleting and recreating them with different names.

This makes it difficult to, for example, have a miniwindow that isn't on top of all other miniwindows come to the front when you start dragging it, since the old hotspot and drag handler are no longer in control.

It would be nice to be able to set the z order of a window without having to recreate it with a new name for this reason.

I suppose it could be done, in the same way that triggers are evaluated in an order which is not the trigger name.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I think I mentioned this once, as a "sequence" option analogous to the trigger/alias/timer sequence. I agree that it would be a great addition.

Any action on this should make sure to not require deletion, as that seems to be the primary issue here.

I understand the request, and the reason you are making it.

Ok, sorry. I just re-read my original post and thought it wasn't very clear what I was asking for. :)

This will be available in version 4.73.

See http://www.gammon.com.au/relnotes, point 7 for 4.73.

Huh. The notes only go up to 6.

I accidentally reverted it. I've typed it back in.
