Ability to reorder or alphabetically order properties
David Pearce
Currently it seems properties are saved in whatever order they are created or added to an event, which isn't the ideal way to organize them. They should either be alphabetically ordered or we should have ability to manually reorder them.

Has the manual sorting been implemented?
I'm trying to re-arrange properties within an event property group, but I cannot. I'd like to re-arrange them in a more meaningful way.
Thanks!

Manual sorting should be enabled for this as you'd like your users to see the properties in a meaningful context. At the same time, this shouldn't be done by removing all the properties and re-adding them as it's too much work.

We've gotten request to be able to order/sort the following items:
- Order categories
- Order events within categories
- Order properties within events
In the following way:
- Alphabetically
- Manually

Reorder properties within an event
Solvi Logason
I want to be able to reorder properties within an event. Current workaround is removing and re-adding properties to get the desired order.

Thank you for the feature request acarter@patreon.com! We want to make it as easy as possible to keep an overview of your tracking plan in Avo and a powerful sorting is definitely a core feature for that.
Today you can sort the events list in the tracking plan by name but it's kind of hidden. It's behind the small "sliders" icon in the top right corner of the events list. See the screenshot below.
We are excited about improving this, both by allowing you to sort by more things, like properties, categories, and sources, and making the functionality more accessible while doing so!

The reason this matters is because the order matches the code generated. So if a common set of properties is in a slightly different order between a few events it can lead to bugs.
