On the report parameters screen, all input types except Text take up one line. That for text parameters is set (initially) to have space for 3 lines - as follows:

I have yet to find a report in which one needs to enter more than a single text line.

Suggestion: decrease the initial size of text entry boxes to 1 line - ie like

In the very very rare cases where one does need multiple lines, the box can be expanded via the handle at its bottom right.

Making this change makes it easier to set the parameter order.  Currently, I try to make sure that the order is such that the ordering is such that the 'text parameters take lots of vertical space' problem has minimal impact - by grouping all the text parameters together. If the text parameters also took 1 line, then the paramets can be ordered more logically.
