[Trade Window] Customizing Buttons

I've searched the forum and help pages, but can't find an answer for this. Is there a way to customize the order in which certain Trade Window buttons appear?

Specifically, I would like to swap the "Buy Ask" and "Buy Bid" buttons, so that they're consistent with the "Sell Mkt" and "Sell Ask" buttons.

What I mean by consistent is having "Buy Bid" and "Sell Ask" in the same column, since each denotes price improvement on an opening trade.

I've attached a snapshot of the compact Trade Window (attached to a chart in this case), illustrating this concept.

No this is not yet available but will be coming.

However, you can accomplish this now by using the Control Bar and adding the buttons that you want and in the order that you want:
Control Bar


All of these Trade Window buttons can be added to any control bar.

I appreciate your reply, but the interim solution won't work well... I'd basically need to replicate the entire Trading Window. I still need the drop-down configuration selector, and the ability to modify target details, etc. I'll wait for the eventual new feature, as the rest of your software is fantastic (performant).

Is there any chance you simply swap the "buy ask" and "buy bid" buttons on a new release? It seems to me this would make sense to everyone, since that aligns (column-wise) the price improvement limit buttons (buy bid, sell ask) and the typical limit buttons (buy ask, sell bid).
