Actually the fixture order could be separate from the x, y, z directions: you select first the order and then decide the direction; it would be a plus to use multiple directions, eg. when dealing with matrix to apply a color fan using both the X and Y directions .
Btw the concept I was referring here http://qlcplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17137 it's working, here attached a file.

nb.1 in the file attached there is a vc button to activate because it's not possible to have a palette for the shutter, neither to store the shutter value in the intensity palette.
nb.2 in the real word the concept will work only with an offset option, otherwise 90% of the times the groups will not be correctly aligned and the exchange of palettes will not be always nice.
And 2 wishes.
Fan mode could also have "segments", where you select how the fan steps are applied to the group, if every 1, 2 or 3 fixtures, etc etc.
Why not to use the fan widget with the Fx to determine the fixtures order?
It would be a nicer/faster experience, the parameter "value" could be use to spread the fixtures in the fx.
