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.

Yes please, I need this 🙏 We use global layout component and instance slot component within it for content. This nested component is changed the most often but it is so hard to find among the nested instances because of the ordering. 😦

Is this getting fixed or what? 2 years in and still no signs of this issue being fixed.

Yeah, +1 000 000. Should be easy enough to implement too and would help a ton.

I’d be so great to be able to reorder nested instances!

This is what should’ve been worked on instead of those superficial AI features…

If its too difficult/time consuming to implement the reordering of props, at least give us a ‘spotlight’ modal so we can highlight buried nested components. This way they will at least stand out when scrolling through a complex component with lots of properties.

+∞ Being able to organize our components by re-ordering Properties with Nested Instances would make the instances more useable and would cut down on restructuring our components over and over to get the order right.

Yes, I am also shocked that this feature is not in yet, I have a very important variable that needs to be on top (even above the "normal" properties) but now it always remains at the bottom. Please make it possible for us to re-order and mix these up (regular and nested properties).

 

I'd also love to rename the nested instances labels (sometimes we hide the nested components by using a period in front of the name, but this makes the properties panel look messy, or is there some workaround for that which I've missed?
