Sort variants alphabetically (ascending/descending)

An idea, could you sort the instances (layers) BEFORE merging them as variants?

What if you are adding variants as you need them? You can’t break the component and make it again.

@rzmota
i’m also seriously in need of this feature at the moment. have a ton of variants in several components and would like to keep them organised and listed alphabetically for easier selection when designing the screens. come on, Figma team! you can do it. 😉

I also have a very large list of variants for one of my components and would love it if Figma would auto-sort them in ascending alphabetical order.

It seems that Figma does not have any intuitive (and more importantly native) function to sort components by title, ascending or descending. The only option I foresee is ordering the components before they are combined as variants as @sebastien.giroux eluded to.

Oooooh (😲) Figma: we need this feature!

It would be helpfull to sort our variants

I’d also like to have this feature since sorting Icons is very troublesome when having to do it manually.

Hey all, I changed the topic category so that you can vote for it.

Same case, 2 hundred icons. Sorting before merging won’t work since the component is already a part of the team library and has tons of references across the projects. + The set is not static, people add new items and remove outdated ones.

It would be nice to have a choice of a key property synced with the order of the variant layers. There are plenty of ways to sort layers (manually & via plugins), so it might be rather flexible.

Same here. A lot of Icons and we add new ones every now and then. It takes ages to find them as they are not sorted alphabetically. When you try to filter them by start typing the name of the variants it stops after entering “_”
