Newbie Questions
I'm just starting to look at JMeter, and I have two questions (so far)
1) Is there no way to rearrange elements of the tree? I can't find
anything like this. Not even Cut/Copy/Paste
2) Is there any support for sending an argument value that is one random
value from from this set of values? How about instead of a random
value, sequentiall choose the next value form this lists of values?

Well, if you're testing site registration, it would be nice to have another
test case for REMOVING those users that you just registered, if that's
possible.
I was doing the exact same thing you're doing, and the old
HTTPUserParameterModifier does retrieve the values randomly. I have an
update from Mark Walsh that returns the values from users.xml sequentially
instead of randomly, and I'll forward it to you in a separate email.
To "unregister" users, I had to create a 'special' URL in our application,
enabled only in development, that removes a user based on a userName request
parameter. That way, I could create a test case to remove all the users
using the SAME users.xml file that I used to add them. I found this to be
easier than anything else.

Actually, #2 is a big question that I'm trying to figure out right now.
We've got a file containing a large number of users and their data for
testing site registration. Every time we run the test case, it seems to
randomly grab one of the users. Often it will grab the same one twice in a
row, which fails because of course the first one is already registered.
What I'd like, ideally, is for JMeter to use the first one in the file, and
remember that. Then when I run the test again, it would use the second one
in the file, and so on. Basically sequential use of the users.xml file with
a marker to tell it where to start the next time the test is run. How
possible is this? And if it's not possible, is there some other trick to
prevent it from trying to re-use the users?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I re-arrange elements by saving that particular node to a file, and then
opening it on the parent node where I want to copy it. Not very
satisfactory, but it works.
