Changing the order of many controls can take very long, in the ide.
I prefer copy / pasting the parts of the code, that I want to move.
The control order window could use some improvements in version 3.1.
I have some ideas:
* Currently, the window cannot be resized. Making it resizeable would be a big help.
* To give you a visual feedback, which control you are moving, it would be helpful, if the actual control in the form window would be highlighted.
* Click on a control in the form window to select the corresponding entry in the control order window.
* Drag and Drop support for quick moving would be very nice.
* I am not the first to wish this: select and move multiple controls at the same time
I don't know, how hard it is to implement, but I think this would make a big improvement in usability of the ide.
Yours

Yes please add the ability to select multiple controls at once in the IDE.
It would also be nice if we could use the Shift-<Arrow> key to move\nudge a control around. This is standard in most IDE's at this point.
Thanks!

Multi selectable controls are useful to redefine common properties in global way as:
-Row or Col
-Width
-Height
-BackColor
-Font name
-Font size
-Font color
-Bold, Italic, underline
This could be selectable by ListBox multiselectable.
Another useful point would be to create templates in individual file name according each control containing a basic properties as mentioned above. This module would contain the option to copy, edit, delete templates. I think it's easy to implement and useful.
In View of Code of Form, would be created a button for "select all text" for copy. This is useful when form is to big for selecting.

Nice ideas Pablo.
We can go for auto layout also (like in Android.) Each control we place might be arranged or aligned automatically like horizontal/vertical/grid with the predefined offset.

East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.
