Hello,

I apologise for being vague... It was not my intention.

Steps are as follows:
I open GEdit -> Tools -> External Tools
In the left hand pane, where I see the titles of all 'installed' external
tools, I noticed I can rearrange the items to show up in such order within
the Tools main tool bar list.
I select an item in the list of external tools installed, let's say Build.
When I drag and drop it in the new order desired within the list, let's say
'New 1' and drag it elsewhere, let's say AFTER 'New 2', I instantly can
verify (by clicking on 'New 1') that all the details on the right side of
the window, showing the commands, etc. are clear.
If I close the Tools window and reopen it, I now see 'New 1' showing up as
'new-1', still without any data on the details of the tool. 'New 2' and any
other external tools are perfectly fine and still functional.
Also, as it turns out, no matter how I choose to rearrange the listing with
the Tools -> External Tools option, it doesn't actually effect the order
they show up in the window Tools. Ha!

So, I expected: A) that rearranging the listings in Tools -> External Tools
actually rearranged the list of tools within the Tools drop down; and, B)
that by doing so (moving a listing in the order of the External Tools right
pane) it not remove all data relevant to that entry.

If a screenshot is still desired, I can send one, but I think it's simple
and clear enough that one is not necessary.

Thanks,

A
