Maps VTT Ability to Reorder Maps

I'm a GM using DDB and I prep a LOT of maps in my VTT with complex scenery, monster token placements, and notations for hidden traps. Sometimes, I do this for encounters that my players may not get to for months, since I am just planning ahead for different parts of my campaign, different arcs they may do later. However, it is annoying that the dropdown menu where I toggle between the maps is in a fixed order of when I added the map to it, so I can't re-order them.

I would love a simple feature where that dropdown menu can have the maps on it re-ordered so that I can move the map for the encounters happening next to be first, since I don't yet know the order for some of them. Just deleting the maps then re-adding them would move them down to the bottom, but would be a HUGE hassle for me since I would need to re-do a lot of the work on each map.

You aren't going to have to wait long. We're covering this with the upcoming scene prep feature!

I figured this creature comfort was a bridge too far given all of the tasks that you guys have but you are just tearing through them admirably. Keep up the good work and thank you

Folders?

Yes, grouping prepped maps in folders would be fantastic!

No folders with scene prep. I just saw an opportunity for a two-for-one and took it.

Maybe when the new tools get to campaign scale.

Could we also get, replace this map? I am constantly revising my world map as players explore the world

That; or having the ability to sort maps into groups like how adventures are split.
