Good idea.
In our Glasair, we put the Fuel Pump switch first in the line of toggle switches because that was the switch that we would hit first in an engine failure emergency. (And it's the switch we use most often.) So I wanted it easy to find among all the switches.
I've suggested before that the NRST button should be at the bottom left (or bottom right) of the screen, where it could be easily found in an emergency. But just like Microsoft has to support legacy users, I expect it would too hard to make a "major" change like this on legacy iFly users.
So, if the button position can't be changed, then perhaps the button itself can be changed? If not color, perhaps thicker border? Reverse video?
