When I create new variant properties, or new text styles, the newest addition will land at the bottom of the dropdown list in the right hand pane.

Is there a way to reorganise these?

Hey @Joseane_Castanheira, thank you for flagging this. To be transparent, given that this is a long-standing bug and our team can not consistently reproduce this, so it will not be prioritised at this moment.
However, I’ve forwarded your feedback to the teams.

Thank you,

Hey @Alyssa_Maac1, sorry to hear that you’re still having trouble with this!

Tank’s solution is still correct, but let me provide some additional context from the team.

Our team confirmed that we’ll always show “Variant properties” at the top of the list and “Component properties” below. So while you can re-order within those sections, it’s not possible to re-order between the two sections.

Does this sound like it’s matching what you’re seeing?

Hi @dvaliao that’s not my issue.

It’s just reordering the text styles, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Here’s my issue. I cannot reorder text styles. I’ve been trying to drag it and it keeps on going back to original position.

I have the same problem: cannot reorder text styles, but interestingly enough, only if pulled towards the top. Somehow dragging and dropping a style works if the new position of the style is below the old one.!

So basically after creating a new Headline text style that ended up at the bottom, I just went a full circle to position the style at the top 😃

Also, I have no issue with reordering color styles, it only happens with text styles.
