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.

The new filter pane is great, but the automatic alphabetical ordering of the filters renders it useless. I still have to add the individual slicers in the report page so I can have them in the right order.

Would also like to add a custom header to the filters in the filter pane

RE: Change order of filters in filter pane

I thought exactly the same thing. Why are filters not consistent with fields experience. In fields we can drag them around to re-arrange rows, column order, etc. It looks like filters are shown in the order they are added.. So if you set-up a number of filters, then realize later you want to add one more filter but you want it at the top, you essentially have to delete all filters and start over.. That's ridiculous.. (and again not consistent)
