It seems, and it makes sense, that redirect rules are processed in order. I’m assuming it finds the first match in the list and processes it. This is a problem if I have more than one matching rule, but there are legitmate reasons to have more specific rules, and then broader rules that can result in multiple matches. For example, I have a catchall regex ^(.\*)$ for a URL that I use for short URLs. So I may have something like this:
redirect from:
/URL1
^(.\*)$
/URL2
URL2 would never be processed, because anything would match ^(._)$ and be processed first. Therefore, every time I add a new redirect, I must delete ^(._)$, add my redirect, then add ^(.\*)$ back in so it’s last and looks like this:
redirect from:
/URL1
/URL2
^(.\*)$
Anything that relies on the specific order of entries should have an option to reorder the entries. It should not be required that I have to delete all entries that cause conflicts, then build it back in the required order every time. An option to simply move a rule up or down in the order would be extremely helpful.

Hi @systems1935, welcome to DevKinsta!
This would be a request for MyKinsta, I believe, so I have submitted the feature requests to our Internal Feature Requests for our platform. Thank you for the suggestion, and I agree that it would be very useful.
