A few months ago, the Start Page’s “Group Experiences” sort was changed to be alphanumerically based. It currently looks like this:
When uploading an asset/model via the “Save to Roblox…” widget, the widget dropdown’s sort is different than the Start Page. This is a snag to my workflow, because I now have to maintain the position of my target among two different sorts in my own memory, as seen below:
While not immediately pressing, (I hope) this issue should be easy to solve and this would help my development experience, as I upload assets to the platform frequently (dozens per week).
Expected behavior
The sorts across all of Roblox Studio and it’s widgets should be standardized and maintained by a single source of truth sort function
This is more of a feature request than a bug–the start page has been updated to the Next Gen UI but the “Save to Roblox” dialog has not been. I’m assuming there are plans to update this in line with the newer UI as the Next Gen Beta is being worked on. CC @MeshOfPaul
It’s not a feature request. They were the same before some changes were made to the Start Page and now they are different. It’s reasonable to assume that dropdown sorts maintain the same logic throughout the app. Someone just didn’t look at the other widgets’ dropdowns before implementing their own sort behavior.
Are you certain the start page behavior isn’t just an intentional improvement to the ranking logic, with the “Save to Roblox” dialog simply lagging behind in updates?
You might be right—I’m not completely sure. Paul should be able to clarify.
Yes, that’s correct. We’ll be shifting focus to Game Settings, which also touches on the publish dialogs, in the summer once we get the the Next Gen UI out of Beta.
@hello42 your request is totally reasonable and you are seeing the side effects of two different UI systems running together. Most of the Next Gen stuff is focused on getting out of Qt and into Lua running on top of our new frameworks. The next big step is migrating the Lua based UI to a shared UI component library. This is where we’ll really see consistency across all the nooks and crannies level up. I’ll share this request with the team to ensure we’re keeping it in mind.
