Post Property Table Enhancement

Are there any plans to add an order member to the post property table to control the display order of the post properties within a displayed group? You have my vote to add this addition to the fast track.

 

Relying on the apparent alphabetical ordering of post properties in the displayed table makes keeping related settings together rather cumbersome.

alphabetic order is based on the property name, not the displayed name. So you can call a property like below and it will be on the top of the list with a name with a Z

 

 

  1_useRadius: {
        title: "ZRadius arcs",
        description: "If yes is selected, arcs are outputted using radius values rather than IJK.",
        group: "preferences",
        type: "boolean",
        value: false,
        scope: "post"
    },

Yeah, that part I got.

 

It's hacking up all the property names to get them to sort correctly that seems so ...

 

I was hoping there could be an order member on the road map such as was included in the group properties. This would seem a more logical and elegant solution for long term sanity.

Thank You @boopathi.sivakumar 

 

Nice to know it is on the roadmap, hopefully a local map, not wide region.
