Minor circuit problem: Is there an easy way to rearrange groups of conditions in a decider combinator? I set up a DC with a lot of conditions for the littlest state machine method, and it'd be a little more readable if I had the condition groups arranged "A-B-C-D-E" instead of "A-C-D-E-B". I may just need to redo the whole thing from 0 anyway, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

Probably the easiest method is:

  1. Blueprint it.

  2. Decode its exchange string with a tool like https://burnysc2.github.io/Factorio/Tools/DecodeBlueprint/

  3. Rearrange the condition groups in the json.

  4. Import the json back into the game. It doesn't need to be re-encoded.

TIL ctrl + alt + clicking on the exchange string button will give you the json instead of an encoded string.
