I'm getting used to the debugger and it's been really helpful, but it can be difficult to manage at times. I thought giving users the ability to re-order watch items would be nice.

Sometimes I'm watching variables that have similar names but are from different files. It can get a little confusing when there's several watch variables from different locations. I'll put dummy variables between them as dividers to remind me which file they came from.

Being able to do these sorts of things quickly would be awesome. Currently I have to delete and rebuild the entire watch list if I feel the need to re-order or add something in an ordered fashion.

Drag to reorder would be pretty easy. Surprisingly you can't even do that in chrome devtools.

I'm not sure about dividers. Seems very specific to a certain workflow. It would be interesting if the watches that have values, ie don't throw ReferenceError, were sorted to the top, as an alternative to a user-ordered list.
