Add "Switch Old/New Resource" button to Compare Wizard in File Manager IDZ plugin

On the "Compare Wizard / Basic Settings" window one data-set name appears as the Old Resource and the second data-set name appears as the New Resource. In some cases the user may wish to switch between the 2 data-sets.
Currently this can only be done with a manual copy/paste technique. If there was a "Switch" button on the window specifically for this purpose the user could perform the switch accurately with a single click of the mouse. The user interface would be much more friendly, efficient and also less prone to errors.
