It is much more readable and eaiser to follow when using checkbox lists to put your column options down and then add a second (or third, fourth, . . . ) column if you have enough options.

My first impression on looking at the bottom bar configuration, was half the stuff is missing, because my eyes went down the list.

We have been trained by everyday tasks to read across the page from left to right then up to down for words, but we have also been trained to read columns of data from top to bottom, then left to right.

I would suggest the configuration table be setup to read top to bottom, then left to right.
I agree in principle. It was just easier to code it that way....since I was working off an earlier concept of mine. Also the bar reads across so this order makes them line up better from the appearance on the bar. Iif enough people want it arranged differently or I just get some more free time I can make a variant or make it an option on the menu itself.
