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.

Bump ! Need this. Also, the ability to choose which property of the nested component can appear or not in the panel. Very useful while working on design systems where you have to specify which props are usable in nested components.

@Figma Bump, this is still very important!

(also, where is the counter for upvoting ideas? How do you now keep track of what requests to add first?)

I’d also like to be able to change the order of nested instances in a parent instance. Such as changing the order of Accordion Items (nested instances) inside an instance of an Accordion Group component.

+1, I would also find this really helpful, hope they add it as an enhancement in the future!

+1 this is rather messy tbh. Nothing works. No order number infront of a name, no reorder in a subcomponent… This is crucial. 

I’d also like to be able to change the order of nested instances in a parent instance. Such as changing the order of Accordion Items (nested instances) inside an instance of an Accordion Group component.

And I am totally supporting the idea of Leo here. This would make the component side panel very very powerful.
