Left panel, objects sort and scroll handle.

Left panel, objects sort and scroll handle.

Screen Shot 2017-10-11 at 13.44.49.jpg

On fusion, when you start to have many objects on the left pane you need a way to quickly find them. Usually I name the important objects but some operations change the object place in the left panel.

 

It would be useful to have a sorting option on the objects panel and wold be interesting that we could have two levels of sorting, one for objects whose name was changed by the user and other level for objects generated by the software (when you unstitch lots of objects are created...) so, first we would see user objects listed alphabetically, then system objects listes alphabetically.

Another interesting feature would be to extend the object scroll handle to the edge of the screen so you don´t have to position the mouse cursor over that tiny grey line 10px wide when you need to scroll up and down.

It would also be nice to be able to make sub groups for ease of navigation and have control of what goes in the sub groups.

Something desperately needs to be done with that thing. On any nontrivial design, it rapidly becomes unwieldy

It's rather astounding you can't at least sort by name (alpha-numeric) in the Browser. I'm writing this using Firefox, and my Bookmarks pane has a right-click menu to "sort by name" within a folder or sub-folder. I'm doing very simple designs and find myself wanting this; I can only imagine how frustrating it is to work with a complex assembly.
Along with that, how about a "find" function in the Browser bar? Please see 3ds Max Scene Explorer for an example.

F350 desperately needs a better way to organize and find objects in that left panel

I'm just doing a rude "bump" on this thread because, really. No sorting yet?
