GUI to manage Gmail filters?

Question

I have numerous filters in Gmail and whenever I need to do maintenance is very difficult. To make matters worse, whenever a filter is edited it changes the order of the listing, so I have to look for reading all filters. At least there could be the option to save a label for each filter.

Is there any way or software ready to more easily manage Gmail filters?

This has been a problem with Filters ever since Google implemented them. People have been asking for a way to re-order the filters since filters were in Beta. Google apparently doesn't care to address this. The only way I know is to export all your filters, edit the mailfilters.xml file that results, then delete all your filters, and reimport from the edited mailfilters.xml file.

Hell of a sloppy and error-prone way to do it. They should have a simple +/- & top/bottom button or column on the filter list page that moves the selected filter in the desired direction.
