I noticed that in D&D 5e there is a button for rolling for your starting wealth. This would be a nice feature to incorporate into the Pathfinder section.

Some days I don't know why I bother to chew through the restraints.

Does the 5e material allow for characters created at higher levels?
In Pathfinder, it would be more important (I think) to set the appropriate Wealth-By-Level value as the starting funds (rather than the default 150 gp for all).

One wrinkle to doing rolling for starting money: the starting money is on the Configure Hero screen, and is typically set before you pick your first class.. which is what determines what dice you roll for starting money in Pathfinder.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Having to dig up the WBL chart for higher level NPCs is always a pain. I would love it if starting gold could be based on level, or at the very least have the WBL chart easily accessible - maybe in a tool tip or the like?

Don't forget that NPCs don't normally use the PC Wealth-by-Level chart.. they have a separate one in the chapter for NPCs. Giving NPCs equivalent wealth to PCs is a factor that gives them +1 CR in Paizo's adventures.

But, yes, setting the default wealth appropriate to PC/NPC level would be good.

If you hover over the "gear value" at the top of the Pathfinder panel, it gives you the split of wealth expected for the character's level.
