Normally just clicking the "Save Profile" button will update them though :) ]]> RE: Can I rearrange the ordering of existing monitor profiles?

I think this explains perfectly what was happening with the out-of-the-order monitor profiles.

Does saving the profile under the same name update the ordreing necessarily? If so, to restore alphabetical ordering, how often should I be saving the profiles again? Say, would this be a one-time only update from version 9.9 to 10, or would futuer updates of 10.1, 10.2 ... each require another round of manual updates?

Actually, given the CLI support of the 
-monitorloadprofile
flag, I should probably try not to activate mointor profiles manually.

PS: I don't have asterisk anywhere in my profile names. ]]> RE: Can I rearrange the ordering of existing monitor profiles?

Do the profiles sorted out of alphabetical order have an asterisks at the end? ]]> Can I rearrange the ordering of existing monitor profiles?

Renaming profiles will move them around, but a bit of guessing is needed. ]]>
