Sorting sketch blocks under the model tree folder

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a list of sketch blocks in a PART (which I'm using as a prep that is derived in multiple parts) that I want to sort alphabetically. Attached below is a snippet of the names of the sketch blocks I have. I would like these to be sorted (using an iLogic rule or any other method that may work) under the blocks folder so that when I derive it in another part, these appear sequentially . Could you please guide me in the correct direction? Any help/advice is appreciated. If my question is unclear, please let me know and I can clarify further.

APPEARS TO BE A DEAD LINK.  I'm pretty sure I read that Autodesk was going to implement this ability a couple versions ago; yet here I am using Inventor 2021 and you still cannot rearrange the blocks.  This is direly needed.  I've had to start a new drawing template, and copy/paste 1 and a time in the correct order to get them sorted.  with about 60 blocks, this takes over half an hour.  Anytime I add a new block, I have to do this; sorting is very important so I don't have to scan the entire list to find the one I need.

At least "You can now resize the Replace Model Reference dialog box"!!!!

Expanding Model reference dialog box.  This is a game changer!  In Late 2021, by which time I might actually use this rarely useful feature again, I'll give it a test and see how it works.
