Swapping/reordering storage panes...

First of all, I've used search and didn't find anything, so I hope I won't be shot down with this... I would like to make a suggestion for the storage panes to be swappable/reorderable.

Here is my concept: You would be able to grab, let's say pane number "VII", and drag it between, let's say pane number "I" and "II". Pane number "II" and other panes to the right would be nudged over to the right. The names on the panes would stay at their original locations within the vault box meaning, they would update dynamically on the panes that were bumped over and on the pane that was moved. Visually nothing would really change after the operation, other than the content being moved. The 4th bday pane has it's own name and icon, which is why it would be fixed to it, but as with the other panes, you would be able to set its' position in the vault box There could also be a small lock icon somewhere at the top, preventing you from accidentally reordering your panes.

Reasons: The 1st reason why I started to think about this is tbh, personal.

1. Basically, I recklessly bought two panes from the store before I found out I can get one for free in the promotional period... I though: "oh well, would have bought em' anyway" and activated my free pane. But the panes' order is set in the order you buy/activate the panes, meaning I now have panes I, II, III, IV, V, VI, 4th bday one, VII, VIII, material storage. To me it's just disorientating for some reason :? And with the storage being accessed many times when I'm online, it just slaps me in the face everytime I have to look at it.

2. I bet other players would welcome this kind of update, enabling them to sort their storage by swapping entire panes instead of relocating individual items between panes as we can now.

It is a cosmetic update and I realize that some people might think it's totally unimportant and to make it clear right now, I respect their opinion. Instead of whining about something that bothers me, I tried to analyze it a bit and think of a more complex improvement, that others might welcome as well

Hehe your a organise freak like me, i bet you have minis in one storage, green weps in another, tomes in another, all organised by elites + normal.

Although i don't have the extra panes yet, i can see it would be something that would annoy me too.

Same problem here, I'd rather have the unbought storage panes hidden or at least an option to do in the game settings. I'm not going to buy them so I don't need them having shown up all the time.

Heh I do the same thing, Tomes on one page, mini's on another, consumables on a third, another for swapping between characters etc...

I'm all for easy conveniences in a game to keep them enjoyable when having to deal with the user interface and I'd love to see this happen. I doubt it will as Anet's not even been able to set this up for our login screen (Drag character order around) and that's been asked for, for years.

I'd rather they fix broken things like the menagerie and losing the ability to recharm a L20 pet once released and the gigantic fiasco that are zcoins, however as I said I'm all for convenience changes in game UI's so you have my vote!
