How do I change the order of the profiles in profile manager?

I have several profiles and I know that I can use profile manager to delete the profile without deleting the files, then add the profile back, but it is a very clunky way to change the order they are in. Is there any quicker way to change the order of the profiles?

Edit the profiles.ini file.

If you have that many Profiles, why not launch the Profile via command line rather than using the Profile Manager dialog window?

Thank you both. My problem was that I was looking in the wrong place for the profiles.ini file. I'm not sure now where it was I was looking, but I found it quickly with the links cor-el gave. I didn't want to use command line option (though it is a good suggestion) because that would increase the clutter from icons and I was attempting to reduce clutter.

Again thank you both for the quick response.
