Simple Example to Highlight UI Problem
(In reply to Cor Nouws from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=126047#c6">comment #6</a>)

I've been working with conditional formatting since Excel 97. It's very common
to want to change the order of outer conditions. Without this functionality,
making changes is painfully slow and error prone. In Excel it's a simple
clicking “move up” or “move down”. In Calc, you have to first delete the top
condition, then add it again below.
This is a very common scenario for anyone working with conditional formatting.
For example you might have data that you want organized one way for local
markets then you'd want to present it a different way for international
markets. I've seen this many times.
To see an example of how problematic our current UI is, take the attached file
now try to make the 2nd rule evaluate first. In Excel, it's as simple as
Conditional Formatting -> Rule 2 -> Move up(twice)
Now try this in Calc, while retaining both rules just like Excel. The lack of
move up / move down commands makes our conditional formatting very cumbersome
to work with.</pre>
