Element Reorder Plugin
IMPORTANT NOTE: This plugin relies on a really hacky method of messing with instance parents to re-order elements. Let me know if undoing may lead to unpredictable results.

While I was developing a game, I found out as a developer that it is impossible to change the order the UIGrid/List constraints display when having SortOrder set to LayoutOrder, other than parenting children elsewhere and back to it’s original parent.
For this reason, I have developed a plugin that automates this process. It takes all children, parents them elsewhere (not nil, otherwise, we expect jank) and then back to original parent within specific order
Here’s the example with simple automation of re-parenting technique to display children as last.
However, I wasn’t quite satisfied with this result, what if there are many children? That’d be inconvinient. So, I decided to make something more complex out of that and make a tree inspector you can drag n’ drop or use arrows to organise children order.
Take a look.
Neat eh? I’d say so.
Honestly I would make a feature request in roblox to allow us to have custom UI ordering without utilizing names or this type of stuff, but I am not a Regular, so I can't post things in feature requests.
Also just letting you know that you are probably better off making your own list layout system, since you would have much greater control over it’s behavior.
