UX: Select Showcase Models for User Profile

I can’t imagine anyone finding the selection process of the 4 highlighted models for their own profile successful. Here are the problems I see:

  1. Re-selection of all 4 models with any changes.
  2. Selection order determines display order.
  3. No text search.

Here are my suggestions for improvement:

  1. Display 4 fields representing the later order. Clicking on a field opens the model selection list. Exactly 1 model can be chosen from the list for the currently active field.
  2. Text search field that performs live search/filtering in the model selection.
  3. The 4 fields are sortable via drag and drop, similar to images and files.
