memory view submenue change

In the sub menu of the memory view the first selection is split pane which will show a variable at a word boundary in the view. This can be very confusing. The second selection is the single pain which will start at the exact offset. Human behavior is to select the first option in a list. Please change the order of the sub menu to display the single pain first and than the split pane option

    The customer agreed to Alan B's proposal to set a default rendering for the memory view

    Would you accept the ability to set a default rendering for the "Monitor Memory" action?
    In addition to a cascading action to select a memory rendering we would enable a way to select a default rendering and then add a "Monitor Memory" action that would use the default rendering.
