BUG (investigating): Rearranging order of variant properties/text styles in dropdown

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?

Having the same issue. Alternatively you can add a new test text style within (Text/test) then reorder. Make sure that the new test folder is at the bottom, reorder folders then delete the test folder.

It’s been 2 years, is there not a fix for this? I have over 200 color styles and they are ordered 900-100 from top to bottom in the styles panel instead of the way they are order in my layers panel 100-900. Why can’t we reorder these? I can’t drag and drop that many styles!
