When multiple wires share a series of wire pins, the wires are "stacked" - displaced up or down by one or more wire widths to ensure that they're not in exactly the same place on the microchip canvas and can be accurately targeted with the imp if you scale the canvas up.
This is OK for the cases where the stacking order makes sense - for example, an output tweak with eight outgoing wires and the stacking order is the same as the positions of the wire destinations on the canvas - topmost wire to topmost gadget, second topmost wire to second topmost gadget and so on.
But that's not always what we get. The case in the example above - an output tweak with eight outgoing wires - is just as likely to get a stacking order that appears random with wires crossing at the point where they diverge. And the stacking order can change when another pin is added to a wire. The new pin doesn't have to be a shared pin - it doesn't even have to be on one of the wires in the stack at all.
The wire stacking feature in its current state is throwing away the tidiness that we hoped to gain by adding the pins.
It would be a great improvement if we could manually adjust a wire's position in a stack - perhaps D-pad up and D-pad down while the imp is highlighting a wire would be a good choice of control for this.
