Subject is the wish.

My emitters show up on the Multilight tab in no particular order. It would be extremely useful if I could move them around and rename them.

I've got a handful of lights in my scene each with their own R, G, B components. On the multilight tab, the sliders are all mixed up...

I would not mind rearranging but renaming would probably lead to confusion. Simply name your lights in the modeling application already! This works both inside Rhino and 3DSMax.

It would be a first step, to have them always in the same order...

Yes, I often want to rearrange my lights. Other ideas:

1. Would there be value in being able to collapse a group of lights together (to help organize models with many lights, less scrolling around). When the user needs access to a light in a group he expands the group.

2. it would be nice if the light name displayed stacked on it self instead of being cut off by the next light with very few character displayed.

It kinda works from Rhino, though for some reason Rhino sometimes (not always) adds a few characters at the end of the name, which then makes the emitter name too long to show in the Multilight tab until you mouse over it and wait for the full name to pop-up.

and +1 on what Gary said. When you're working with a lot of emitters, it would be very useful to collapse the groups you're not working with at the moment.
