Interesting! Thanks for digging that out!

You should be OK if you keep the same values, but swap
them around. That is, don't make up new values; you
are almost certain to duplicate a value used elsewhere.
But if you keep the same set of values and just reorder
them, you should be fine.
That's something that could be done by a very simple
plugin, or maybe just a FrameScript or ExtendScript.
I'd write it myself as a freebie if I had time. Any
other FDK folks out there who want to?
