Rule enhancement request and a question on parsing

[signal15]

Would it be possible to allow the user to create expandable groupings for the rules and to reorder them? It would be nice to have some structure to the rules for different things. Right now, it's a pain to find what I'm looking for in the rules because I keep adding stuff for various items and there is no organization at all.

Just the ability to create groups that were collapsed, then you click on a "+" sign, and it shows you all of the rules in that group.

- Lighting
   - Rule 1
   - Rule 2
- HVAC
   - Rule 1
   - Rule 2

Also, if I have two rules:

Whenever output 200 turns off
 and counter 10 is 2
 then do something
Whenever output 200 turns off
 then reset counter 10 to zero

Are these rules going to be parsed in this order? Or is there a chance that the second rule could be executed first, causing the first rule to not work? I am assuming order matters, and IS enforced.

I think you just have to experiment on order of processing. I ran into some issues when I had two rules set to check for basically the same condition, but one output being on or off - then flipping it the other way... it was processing the rules in a weird way and I had to add some other layers in between to fix it. Long story short, just have to try it & see.
