Reorder variable collections list

Please fix this, we need to be able to reorder collections. Thanks

A link to that Share topic would have been helpful Josh.

This is the topic. I just mentioned that I updated the category to “Share an idea” so that it can be voted on.

Thanks Josh! I can’t wait until we can reorder them! My product designers hate me 😭 Hahaha.

This is seriously upsetting after spending so much time setting these up only to find that you can’t reorder collections. It’s not like Tokens Studio where you can at least copy paste the code or Invision DSM where you can edit the json file. I might just have to delete the new collection of variables and themes and start over in the main collection. Thankfully I didn’t map all the components to these yet.

What a disappointment. Got a quarter of the way through bringing our new color library over to variables then had to check how to re-order the collections… back to styles I guess… face palm.

Each day to navigate to the correct variable in the right collection wastes my time. Please add sort controls to speed up my work.

And please make the variables drop-down panel wider, and longer, and keyboard shortcuts as well. I am grateful Figma has given us variable functionality, BUT please develop an entire set of controls for this wonderful feature will be gratefully enjoyed!

I am unable to find or navigate to the current style in components. It always starts from the top, and I have to scroll through all the styles to identify the current one. I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

I need to go back to the old one.

I had the same problem! But then I realized that if you change the name of the collection, they will re-ordered. I imaging they are sort by modified date…

So… I had created first the primitives, and after my tokens. But when I changed the name collection from “tokens” to “color-tokens”, the last ones are now first. Now, when I use them in the picker, I have the tokens first 💪

Collections are almost usable, but without being able to resort the order its sort of dead in the water, shame it seemed like it would solve some of my organizational issues being able to use collections effectively.
