Layout Manager /Manage Layouts- Report Order?

From the Designer menu tree select Manage A Database
Under Manage Layouts
Layout Manager Window
__________________________________________
Sesame will show a list of reports that I have created.  As I create new reports Sesame will adds the report to the bottom of the list.

Is there a way to set a tab order on these reports?

It would more useful to be able to access the mostly frequently used reports at the top of the tree vs. at the bottom of the tree. (If that makes sense?) 

Is there is any way to click and drag/drag- move things around to your preferences while in Layout Manager Window? In the *.dsr

I have also observed that while working in a *.db  after a retrieving a result set, you can click on the first letter of a report listed (i.e. Facility Report) Sesame will bring you right to the first report by clicking on the letter F. If I try to toggle to the next report that begins with F i.e.Facility Report2, when I click on F again, it does not toggle down to the next report beginning with the letter F.  It is not really a big issue, but it would be nice to be able toggle down to the next report.   

Regards,

Dave Costanzo

It is expecting further typing to differentiate alphetically. Lets say you have 5 reports:

Fancy
Frivolous
Fanatical
Fierce
Folly

If you type "F" it will take you to the first report starting with "F", which would be "Fancy". But if you continue, typing an "O", it will take you to "Folly". There is a timeout on this behavior of a few seconds. After the timeout elapses, it resets to the start of the word and your current position on the list.
