Change the order of exposed nested instances

+100! Bump! Just keeping the thread alive, this needs to happen.

This would be really nice, please!

Hi all, Thanks for sharing your thoughts about nested instance properties! I will make sure to bring this up with our internal team for future consideration.

Thanks,

Yes, it would be SUPER helpful for our team to be able to reorder the nested instance properties (without changing the actual order layer of the instances in the component-- with autolayout, the actual layer order matters a lot!)

+100000. Plus it would be nice to be able to select which properties of a nested instance are being leaked. I’m building complex design systems for clients, so they are able to quickly export customized versions of a template. But sometimes i need to restrict the client to being able to change all of the properties.

+100, yes it would be so great to even pull apart the items, so that a nested item’s property could be placed anywhere, or hidden if needed.

This needs to happen quick.

My designs look anti-UX with overrride options all over the place

How many comments and votes does this need to be put on a priority backlog?

It looks like the Figma designers like the reverse order – they also make “last on top” the default state when auto layout is created - (which is unintuitive to me, expected to be like in regular layers)

This would be very useful indeed.
It seems messed up when I try to understand what I did when exposing nested instance. I like to tell stories with my components, you know?
