I love the new filter experience, much better. It would be great if the filters in the filter pane could be ordered by the author.
At times there are filters that have a natural hierarchy (Region/Plant; Manager/Employee) and presenting them in the wrong sequence causes the users to become confused.

RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
This feature has already been added. You can drag and drop the Filters to the order you want..
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
Ben Sanders this is now available (May update) and works for me. What is not there yet is the ability to "Edit interactions" through the new filter pane. Please vote for this idea here;

RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
I should point out that the documentation says that custom sort is available...

So when are we actually going to get the functionality?
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
Voted. Filters are so important that the developper needs a total control on the filter pane. The ideas about the filter pane will have no end.
Personaly, I would like to have a more flexible solution with the possibility to add the slicers I want including custom visuals. So I developped my own solution.
Please have a look at this one minute video and share your comments there :

RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
Why still not been added yet?
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
While i'd still like to be able to order them as I wish and bucket filter in categories, for now there is a workaround that was released in the past few weeks allowing to rename filters. By numbering them you can start creating an order in the way the filters will be displayed.
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
Yes, we need to sort the order of the filters by ourselfs. Please change this.
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
yes, need this... this was a surprise that filters lose the order and default to alphabetical...
RE: Change order of filters in filter pane
I also agree that the new filter experience is really useful and more user friendly than the slicers.
I would like to suggest one more improvement in addition to above mentioned ideas.
Which is grouping of the filters. in some cases, list of filter is quite long. it would be helpful if the grouping feature is also provided so the related filters can be grouped.
E.g. Group name: "Time Filters" and under that can be fields such as "Date", "Month", "Year", "Week" etc.
