Yep, I've just tried all the usual ways and no joy whatsoever. I thought it might be something to do with having tbas locked, but unlocking them makes zero difference.

Bluzdog - Your idea would work, but you'd still have to physically close each tab and reopen their respective views or plugs to reorder them for each screenset.  

True, but you only have to do this once - lock your screensets afterwards

Steve - the quote is from page 976 of the full manual. It says just a single sentence under the heading To Rearrange Tabs, "Drag the currently-selected tab to the left or right in the tabs area."

Somehow I missed this pdf. Just dl'd it.
 
So...
 
To rearrange tabs
Drag the currently-selected tab to the left or right in the tabs area.
 
Sounds nice. Prob'ly meant to add it in, but it never made it to the final mix cause it don't work as advertised.
 
BTW, dragging a window out of the multidock and back in to rearrange it doesn't work either. It lands right back in it's original spot. Hopefully X2 fixes this.

Hi all

I have a simple question which I can't believe I can't figure out for myself! It's hardly a showstopper, but anyway.... How on earth do you change the order of tabs in the multidock? The manual says you simply drag the current tab to its new position, which does absolutely nothing. I've tried this with all combinations of ctrl, alt and shift but nothing.

I'm using X1 Expanded (64-bit) on win7.

I wonder if it's x64 specific.  Could anyone with a 32 bit either Win7 or XP install check?  My XP drive is down right now so I'm 64 bit only at the moment.

The X1 Reference Manual is no longer accurate because X1 has gone through too many updates and changes. It needs to be itself updated.

For the latest information use the help file.

...which is probably why it's not in the help file. Still sounds like a cool feature tho.
