this is xfce4-display-settings

I want to reorder the profiles in the display settings: under the "advanced
settings" tab, there's a table that contains all the saved profiles customized
by the user. I would like to change the order in the UI to set the preferred
profile when an external monitor is plugged in. 

In my personal experience, I had to add a configuration with xrandr to set the
same resolution to the internal monitor as the external monitor. So I made two
profiles (see the attachment):

"1360x768 solo monitor esterno" >> that means: "1360x768 only the external
monitor"                          let's call this (1)
"1360x768 schermi duplicati" >> that means: "1360x768 duplicated screens"      
                                         let's call this (2)


Every time the monitor is plugged in, the option (1) is taken. I tried erasing
these two profiles and saving them in the opposite order. But nothing changes. 
I want the option (2) to be taken when the cable HDMI is attached, instead of
(1).
