As design systems grow organically, it might be necessary to reorder Variable Modes in the Local variables panel, similarly to how it is possible to reorder variables.
this is the most stupid thing i faced in figma been using it for years
guys you serious? you sell this pricy enterprise plans with 40 modes option but if you gotta change the order of your modes one day it turns absolutely inconvenient in use or even dead and useless
and it’s been unsolved for so long... christ

C’mon Figma, you build FigPal but not basic essential features that should’ve been part of MVP that people need? 🙄
LOL, atm there is a plugin profiting off Figma’s incomplete feature: https://figma-tokens.com/products/figma-tokens-manager-reorder-modes/
What the?! I was just able to drag and drop my modes?! Is this a new feature? I didn’t notice! Amazing!
Hey
Yes - we just launched this on April 1st: https://x.com/figma/status/1907098144149844226
Working with a group of 30+ designers we really need a way to set the default mode so that the columns can follow a natural order. Bump
