This is limited to Windows installations using more than 2 microphones, but for those following the guidance of experts like Anthone Grimani, we need 4 microphones.
By default, it seems, ASIO4ALL orders devices in the order the WDM interface returns them to ASIO4ALL when it asks for the list. That order, in turn, appears to be roughly the order in which Windows first saw the devices. Strictly speaking, I think it might be in GUID order, but I haven't confirmed, and why would I? ASIO4ALL also strips off, or at least doesn't present to its control panel, many attributes from Windows like the Friendly Name, which we can edit in Windows -- in other words, ASIO4ALL prevents us from labeling mics uniquely in Windows then seeing that name in the GUI.
That said, the order in which ASIO4All lists mics is stable over time, and it appears to present the list in the same order to REW as it presents on the screen. It also includes the "Location" attribute, which encodes the USB Controller, Hub and Port (2nd, 3rd and 4th fields respectively (from memory)).
Please sort USB Microphone devices according to that field.
For style points, include the location information in the REW Preferences UI somehow. Maybe you can present it as a screentip when the user hovers over a device in the pick list.
I volunteer to beta test.
