Reorder variable collections list

Can anyone figure out how to reorder the list of variable collection in the fill dropdown? The layer ‘mode’ assignment appears to sort correctly alphabetically, but the pick list under the fill menu does not, which is a huge painpoint, and will definitely lead to my designers picking the first color they see instead of the semantic one.

Incorrectly sorted - 2. is at the top instead of 1.

I added the idea to add the hide options today, so your designers will see only what they need to see.

Yeah, I have the same issue and it’s a real pain. I have a very large colour library which spans a wide range of semantic uses, so I plan to use lots of collections.

However, the core colours are used much more frequently so I want these to appear at the top. I too numbered them as you have but the fill menu doesn’t reflect that and my core colours have been pushed to the bottom, which means lots of painful scrolling every time I want to apply a colour

+1. Came to the same problem today. Definitely need reorder or show\hide.

+1 I’m facing the same issue as well!

I have a similar issue with this. I have multiple variables based on the needs of my product and I want to have them organized with Screen and Language at the top. I’m updating my language file, and every new one defaults to the wrong collection. And I can’t see a way to move them over.

Yep, same problem. I think alphabetical order would be enough for the first time. But we definitely need proper reorder

Yeah, also need this - i can’t tell if it’s ordering them in the order the collections were created, or what but this makes for very tedious browsing…
