Selectable Drive Mode sequence seems odd

[Grandad11]

Since it's winter, I've been driving quite often in rain and snow. The snow/wet drive mode helps a lot. I just think it is odd that to get to it, you have to toggle through sport+, Track, and drag strip.
I think it would be better if snow/wet was second instead of last, so you couldn't accidentally go into drag strip mode by tapping the toggle four times instead of five (I haven't done so yet.)
Is there any reason for this sequence?

Maybe just the way a programmer did it. Or probably because Mustang users use rain/snow setting a lot less than the other modes. Just my guess.

Probably because most owners will never take it out in the snow.

Mine sits in the garage during the winter unless it's dry and sunny.

Seems odd to me that you can go up or down in the menus in the dash, but only in one direction with these switches on the console. Maybe when originally conceived there weren't as many planned drive modes to cycle thru.

I switch out of my normal Sport mode into Wet every time I enter my complex's parking lot, as there's a bunch of speed bumps and often kids playing so it's better with the throttle response and Magneride softened. Too bad I can't just go back one.

you can set “My Mode” up for snow wet and just do 1 click up.

It doesn't toggle the mode instantly, so if you toggle quickly and stop on the wet mode, it just goes right to that.

The ability to toggle both up and down would be a nice improvement.

I think the drive modes are also screwed up. It should start in drag mode then track,sport,normal, and wet in that order
