Appreciate the feedback, Douglas and this would be good to get a sense of the interest from others around.
As you've noted the new Homepage is responsive and will auto adjust up to 4 widgets wide based on your device and computer and browsing zoom options.
We don't have any plans around enabling user based customisations to this layout but lets start by getting a gauge from community in this here 🙂

I'm finally grappling with the new homepage, and I realize that one of the first things that put me off is that all my widgets were scrambled from the order I'm accustomed to seeing them in (even when scaling my browser window shape/zoom to my usual 2-column view).
I see that this is because the old layout arranges my widgets in "vertical" linear order when scaling from 1 to 2 columns (going top-to-bottom down the left column first), where the new layout follows a "horizontal" order in scaling from 1 to 2/3/4 columns (going left-to-right across the top row).
I always prefer to use the Xero homepage in a "2-column" aspect ratio, so the old behavior was perfect for me. (And even if I were to change my window size, the widget grid dynamically scaling from 2 to 3/4 columns in the new layout is still disadvantageous to me - suddenly none of my widgets are in the position where I expect them!)
My strongest recommendation is to abandon that new behavior, and revert to a 2-column max layout.
But if that's not in the cards, then it would still be easier for users to switching to the new homepage if their initial 2-column view reflected the layout that they're used to on the old homepage (by re-sorting their widgets from the "vertical" to "horizontal" order).
Thanks for considering!
