This is a bit of a quality-of-life question.
If I have a bunch of studies spread out across multiple charts, but I want to see the most recent readings in one convenient place, what would be the best way to achieve this?
Is there a way to see the last outputs of my studies in one glance instead of flicking through all the chart windows?

Thank you for that.
While adjusting some of the short names of my studies, I noticed their respective columns have jumped to the end of the order.
Is there a way to re-order the study columns? A simple drag and drop doesn't seem to work.

edit:

Also, I'm having trouble with cell background colors displaying for me.
I have added the study "Color Background Based On Alert Condition", gave it a new Short Name, and set the color with a simple alert condition.
On the Study Summary window, the text "1.00" is displayed in the assigned color but the background is not changed.

This seems to differ from the description on the Study Summary description page (Study Summary Window: Number, Text, and Color Control for Study Summary Subgraph Cells)

However, in the case of the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study, the foreground text color will become the Study Summary Row Background color and the background color will be the Subgraph Primary color setting for the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study.

I've cropped the screenshots of my study settings for reference.

I'd also like to know if it's possible to conditionally display different background colors in the same cell using Simple Alerts if, for example, a reading is above certain values ie. RSI > 50 = light green, RSI > 70 = light red, RSI > 90 = white.

We tested this, and we wrote up new documentation:
There are special coloring rules for the Study Summary for a cell for the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study. When the alert state is true for the study which means that it is true for the last bar in the chart, then the following color rules apply:

The foreground color is the standard Study Summary row background color. The background color is the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study Subgraph primary color.

When the alert state is false, then the background color is the standard Study Summary row background color and the foreground color is the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study Subgraph primary color.

If the cell in the Study Summary window for the Color Background Based on Alert Condition study does not work like this then we need a simple chart, showing the issue and we will look into it. Instructions:
