I want to reorder the profiles in the display settings: under the "advanced settings" tab, there's a table that contains all the saved profiles customized by the user. I would like to change the order in the UI to set the preferred profile when an external monitor is plugged in. 

In my personal experience, I had to add a configuration with xrandr to set the same resolution to the internal monitor as the external monitor. So I made two profiles (see the attachment):

"1360x768 solo monitor esterno" >> that means: "1360x768 only the external monitor"                          let's call this (1)
"1360x768 schermi duplicati" >> that means: "1360x768 duplicated screens"                                                let's call this (2)


Every time the monitor is plugged in, the option (1) is taken. I tried erasing these two profiles and saving them in the opposite order. But nothing changes. 
I want the option (2) to be taken when the cable HDMI is attached, instead of (1).

I'm using an Arch based Linux distro:

Comment 1 Riccardo Torre 2019-09-14 14:28:12 CEST
Only numbering the profiles with numbers as:
1. profile A
2. profile B

where A and B are the name of the profiles in the comment above ↑
I suggest that might reorder the names.
