Personally I didnt have the problem that @hans2103 did ut I see no reason not to apply this change

Don't like wasting even more space. Maybe swapping them improves understanding.

OK here too for swapping instead of this.

Dont really care which solution is chosen but as the consensus appears to be for simply just swapping the two fields around and not having the separator line @hans2103 can you update your PR for that and then it can be committed

I agree on the suggestion to swap the fields instead of adding an extra element.
therefor I've changed the pull request.

@test success

Probably unimportant if this is quickly merged, but the PR title is now out-of-sync with nature of the changes...

Wait... while you are there, it seem there is a useless double separator further down:

You could get rid of it and, leaving the "Count" at the top, reinstate a sparator below it, to keep the "Filter on Featured" option grouped by itself as all others below are...

You decide!

@smanzi Between those two lines the fields "author_filtering_type" and "created_by" should be present.

@hans2103
It is just a matter of deleting:

                <field
                    name="filteringspacer6"
                    type="spacer"
                    hr="true" />

I wanted to create a new pull request to remove the obsolete separator line.
It seems that it is merged into this one.

It's ok.

@test confirmed after latest commit
