View multiple masters in one view

I was looking at chandra’s screenshot and I think it has a point; Fix Compatibility is probably not precise enough. How about renaming it to Fix Path Order?

I though about renaming the filter, too.

Or simply Reorder. It also orders components FWIW.

I though about “Element Order”

Reorder still sounds like you have to know beforehand what you’re reordering, and Element Order sounds a bit broad, but I would go for the latter if I were to pick one.

Best to make it a verb, because you do something: Reorder Elements or Manage Element Order.

Elements… what about Shapes?

That’s also good. “Reorder Shapes”, “Change Shapes Order”, “Fix Shapes Order”…

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I just came across the custom parameter Master Stroke Color, but the colour depends on what has been selected as a current master, which felt a bit unintuitive to me as @mekkablue described in this thread. Moreover, when I switch to the background layer, the colour no longer changes even if I change the current master. That seems a bit like a bug. This feature would be very useful for distinguishing between masters that look similar in a file. Tested on Glyphs 3.4 (3401).
