Allow re-ordering of Variables

Just let us re-order variables! Even adding variables to a group doesn't affect their order!

    100%. I think this is the most annoying thing about the UI right now.

    Yes plz!!! It seems to default to creation date and cannot be changed. Sort (both ascending/descending) by name, value, or even manual re-ordering at least please 🙏

    +1 on this. I really need it as I develop the font responsiveness system, I keep adding variables but have no way of seeing them from high to low. The only way someone would know which one comes first is if you create this system prior to developing it in Webflow, like in Figma for example. But if you want to skip Figma and start designing directly in Webflow, it becomes kind of a mess really quickly

    I think it is ok for the "variables folders" to follow alphabetical order. BUT for Variables inside a folder, it can be messy without reordering functionality.

    Hope to see it soon!
    It is not too difficult to program, right?

    I would expect such simple feature being developed already in Webflow. Cmon... it's 2024 already.

    +1 to being able to re-order/organize variables in Webflow. Seems like a no-brainer. I was very surprised this wasn't a feature when they added variables, and it still isn't!?!?!

    Here in 2024—please, please add this feature! It's so hard to keep track of groups when you can't reorder, and it makes it really hard to focus on what I'm working on as a neurodivergent person (ADHD).

    Please Webflow, this is essential and would make my life so much easier!

    Frankly, variables are just short of useless without the ability to properly organize them.

    WHEN???

    Reordering within folders would really help! Not being able to sort the order of each variable as you go decreases the productivity of this feature and makes it difficult to maintain organization should you need to change things down the line. Please add it. 🙏

    Webflow! Step your game up! We should be able to reorder variables AND CMS ITEMS! Let's see some hustle happening on the development end of things, lest you get overtaken by the incredibly fast shipping team over at FRAMER.

    The more I read the comments about webflow the more obvious it becomes they're not a user-centric/customer-centric organization. It makes me wonder if they put all the possible features customers ask for on a board and then toss darts while blindfolded and build whatever they hit.

    We absolutely need this.

    This is a must. The feature is very cool but it's very annoying to have everything unordered.

    Pretty please.

    This is definitely something that drives me crazy.

    I've found a way to work around this by adding existing variables into a new group in the preferred order. E.g., If you had an unorganized group of variables called 'colors,' you can rename those vars as 'colors2/variable' in the order you want them listed, and then rename them from 'colors2/variable' to 'colors/variable.'

    It's still unbelievably annoying to do this, but seems to be the only way to reorder them.

    Why did y'all make a whole a** redesign and introduced all these new features but didn't give us the ability to sort and order our variables? SMFH why do I pay so much for this crap...

    Please add this, it's much needed
