I've created a new custom tab in Pro. How do I move it so that it's in between the Project and Map tabs? This functionality is in MS Office but seems to be vacant with Pro (Well, I can't find it).

Also, I would like to rearrange the tools in this custom tab once I've added them in but I can't find this functionality either. In fact I would like to rearrange the tools in the other tabs too, but can't find where this functionality is, either.

In MS office, in the customise the ribbon bit, there are 'Move up' and 'Move down' arrows next to the tabs window over on the right. These are missing in Pro. Where are they and why are they missing? I'm using Pro version 2.1.2

I don't remember that it was supposed to emulate Microsoft products, but this might be a good candidate for

ArcGIS Ideas

If it gathers traction and is possible then it will go.

As with the File Edit View menu style, there should be a standard to follow. Microsoft actually laid down some documentation on how to implement things with the File Edit View menu style. I would submit it to Ideas, but there isn't a category for ArcGIS PRO....

The menu customizations for Desktop are superb, and simple. PRO much less so. I've found a sort of workaround to ordering the tools, but it's very poor and is taking me a long time. It would be great if I could just right-click the ribbon bar and "Add New Group" or "Add tool....or "Remove Group" or "Remove Tool"
