QB45 could do nested FOR/NEXT statements, and some prior versions of QB64 could, but not the more recent versions.

I think someone eliminated it, because it presents an asymmetrical alignment problem for the IDE!

so...

FOR i = 1 TO 5
    FOR j = 1 TO 10
    next i, j

cannot be used anymore. No biggie to me, but it should at least be updated in the WIKI...

4th bullet down under description heading.

You need to get the variable order correct: NEXT j, i

I edited the dotpoint on the wiki to use this order.

Thanks! I hadn't used that in ages. I just use NEXT without the variable. I tried it in the IDE and it even aligns the code indentation properly, no matter the method... next j, i... next: next... etc.
