Change the order of exposed nested instances

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

This needs to happen quick.

My designs look anti-UX with overrride options all over the place

How many comments and votes does this need to be put on a priority backlog?

It looks like the Figma designers like the reverse order – they also make “last on top” the default state when auto layout is created - (which is unintuitive to me, expected to be like in regular layers)

This would be very useful indeed.
It seems messed up when I try to understand what I did when exposing nested instance. I like to tell stories with my components, you know?

How is this still a thing?! When I group any other elements and use auto layout, they are displayed in a proper order. But for some reason component instance is in a reverse order - why would that make any sence? 😑
