To the best of my knowledge, there is no easy and obviously intuitive method for rearranging different tabs one has set up on their overview. I came up with a quick solution that I believe could be easily integrated with the current overview-editing style.

HERE is a demonstration of my idea (in gif form). http://orig01.deviantart.net/acad/f/2016/065/d/8/easyoverview_by_atraveler-d9u38i4.gif

The image is fairly self explanatory, and the change is small, and while this doesn't have a massive impact on gameplay in any way, I believe it could be helpful. Instead of copying and pasting tab names, and then switching presets in each tab just to shift the order (for whatever reason), one could simple drag and drop the tabs inside the overview settings window.

Constructive criticism and support is appreciated.

Meh, I suggest a lock/unlock overview and just let people drag and drop the tabs.

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

The problem with that is when people forget to lock the overview, or don't even know what window locking is, they would drag the tabs around when all they really want to do is select a different section. Not to say I didn't consider it, it's just that I know too many people who don't think to lock their windows. In the heat of the moment like an intense pvp or even pve situation, this would not be beneficial.
