Hi, I would like to reorder my session.custom properties, making more used one higher in the list, grouping by context, etc. I see I can move the objects/lists around by grabbing them on the right and moving up and down but from what I can tell it reorders itself when designer is restarted.

I also wanted to put a group of similar values underneath of an object, so I tried moving around session-props.props.json, but since I didn't update the lastModificationSignature it ignored it.

Is there anything I can do short of deleting and reinserting in the designer?

Thanks

Order is pseudo-random as Ignition uses java HashMaps for these things (for performance). Short of a major redesign under the hood, it ain't gonna stick.

Boo, but thanks for letting me know before I beat what few brains out I have left.
