Reordering collections

Same issue here

Hey ​@Dordije and ​@Martina27 — welcome to Figma Forum and thanks for bringing this up.

I wanted to weigh in and make sure I’m seeing the same thing. When I select Variables from the left navigation bar, reordering collections is still available — you can drag collections directly in the Collections list. Have a look at the screenshot below and let me know if that matches what you're working with:

Reordering changes where collections sit in the list, but it won't stop primitives from appearing in the picker altogether.

I also noticed while testing that library collections can't be reordered — only ones local to the file. If dragging isn't doing anything on your end, it would help to know whether the collection you're moving is one you created in that file or one coming in from a library.

Hope that helps clarify things. If not being able to reorder collections from a library is affecting your workflow, please share a bit more detail and I'll make sure the product team is aware. 🙏🏻
