Drag-to-Reorder Terminals in Flow Editor

As a developer,
I want the ability to drag and reorder output terminals on a node in the flow editor,
so that I can improve visual layout and maintain tidy, readable flows without needing to delete and rewire terminals.

    Matthias,
    Thank you for taking the time to raise this request to IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) team. We recognize the intent behind improving visual organization and readability of flows, particularly for nodes with multiple output terminals.

    After review, this RFE will not be pursued. Output terminal positions follow long‑established and consistent patterns across node types (for example, Failure and Catch terminals having fixed, predictable positions). Allowing user‑specific reordering of terminals would reduce consistency and could make flows harder to understand and maintain when shared across teams.

    This enhancement is not aligned with the current flow editor design principles, which prioritize consistency and shared understanding across developers.
