Hello,
In the Simple Desk Fixture View, how is the order of fixtures determined? They are not in channel order.
Thanks,
Howie

That's only true for the default channel view mode in my experience...
If you change that to fixture view mode https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/simple-desk, the order is determined by the order you entered your fixtures.
See attached picture: I first added 6 single dimmer channels beginning at address 7, then a dimmer pack of 6 channels at address 1.

Since Simple Desk is intended to mimic a lightboard, doesn't it seem like a defect that fixture mode doesn't show them in channel order, simply eliminating the gaps and showing fixture names (which adds value)? Order added just seems very odd.

Hello - I will second the previous comment. It would be helpful to have the option of Simple Desk in Fixture View mode show the fixtures in the channel order.
I generally add my fixtures in the order I want them, which puts them in channel order and in the desired order in Fixture View mode. But there are times when I will delete a fixture and re-add it (same channels) and I never know where it is going to end up in Fixture View mode.

People (M/W/.. and the rest of the alphabet nowadays),
IMHO, the Simple Desk is a debugging tool. I never used it for other purposes than to fix a channel to a certain level at all times (Simple Desk has the utmost priority).
QLC+ has such a rich environment:
Goto your VC and add some sliders (in level mode),
Select the channels you want to change,
You can drag and drop whatever slider (channel) to whatever position you like,
Go into operate mode (hit the green arrow at the top right position of your screen),
and now you get the pseudo desk you need ...
