When I bring up the VP-X screen it seems to take a while to find the circuit or device I want. I realize the naming of the devices is one method of organizing the list, but I don't think the naming is alphabetical. The three items at the top of the screen are Starter, EFIS and Alt Field. Is there an order to the rest of the list? and can it be modified with the naming like this?

Fuel Boost
Fuel Transfer
Lights Landing
Lights NAV
Lights Panel
Lights Strobe
...

The VP-X Web Planner has a nice method of grouping the devices. It would be nice if it could be carried through to Skyview.

The first three are always the Starter, EFIS, then Alternator. This the way Vertical power asks us to put them.

The next 3 are the various trim and flap channels.

After that, they are alphabetical. The VP-X doesn't tell us what order to put them in, so that was the most logical order we could come up with without a lot of user interface work.

I renamed the circuits in my VP-X to better organize them in Skyview. It makes it easier to find the circuit as they now have subgroups. What I didn't try was renaming the circuits I didn't us to see if I could use them as separators in the list.
