Since the latest FTDNA release this year (2021), the Matrix tool has been "un-improved." First, the order that matches are selected for the matrix no longer corresponds with the order that these names appear in the matrix box. I've been unable to figure out what determines this re-ordering. Second, the up-down buttons are gone. Of course, the result of moving the order of the selected matches up and down is likely to produce unpredictable results, given the first problem described above.
These changes totally break the way I've used the Matrix tool in the past. It is now virtually useless in my research. Is there any hope of restoring the original features?
P.S. I could find only one brief reference to the Matrix tool in FTDNA help pages. Is this an indication that the tool is going away altogether soon?
