Thanks.

This should already work by selecting all wanted sources in the order you want 
them. e.g. If you want the lines from B first, press B first and then A. 
Toggling these buttons again will remove the respective lines.

Yes, it's on my todo-list, but for now you can help yourself by editing the 
result. e.g. Select A and B and then use cut and paste to move the lines to 
the correct places.
