I would like to edit the /var/spool/cron/{username} file. I don't want to use linux terminal commands, I prefer using a GUI editor like the one found in File Manager.

  Hey there! There currently aren't any options to edit root's cron through the WHM interface. I'd recommend submitting a feature request if you'd like to see that behavior added in the future.

  I just realized I can just use my FTP program to get the file and use textedit, then put the file back to the server.

  That would definitely work as well, although it does require the extra steps.

  The reason I do this is to be able to sort the Cron Jobs. It sure would be nice if cPanel offered a sort function for Cron Jobs.
