Order of variables list in editor is lost every time I navigate within the project

In Studio, there is a list of variables used in the context you are working in. You can sort the list by alphabetical order, but everytime I go to a different part on the flow of the project, and I come back, the sorting order I previously selected is lost.

This is very annoying; I already determined the best sorting for me is alphabetically, as it helps me quickly locating the variable I’m looking for amongst the maremagnum of variables. I have to click on the column name everytime I move within the project to set it as alphabetically again. It’s boring and makes you lose time. There should be a setting to keep this sorting order within different areas of the project and/or globally.

yeah, this sucks!
Try to use the Data Manager, you will see that is even worse, but at leats it has a seach box

Thank you, @lucas.stern . Yeah, the experience is awful with that window also. But at least I didn’t have the search box in my mind. I’ll try to remember that when I’m really lost trying to find a variable. Thanks for the tip :wink:

Data Manager allows reordering if you disable Group by Scope. Also, this order will be persisted between project reopening.

Thanks for the hint. I’ll try to take advantage of it, althought is not that handy as the list in my screenshots.

By the way, I don’t understand what the “Sync with active scope” is for. I activated it, yet if I click in different scopes like on an “If” activity or a sequence, it’s not displaying those scopes variables, but those in the whole current open tab.
