Give us control of changing the position of tools in a player's backpack

Currently, it is impossible to change the position of tools in a player’s backpack. Parenting a tool into the backpack automatically set’s the tool to the end of the backpack. Maybe the tool you’re parenting to the backpack is important and you want it to appear at the top of the backpack, but not automatically equip it on the character.

For mobile players this is especially troubling, the backpack only displays 3 tools at once, and the player has to expand their backpack to discover any more tools they’ve been given.

Please consider adding this functionality.

Support. It would additionally be helpful for developers to have the ability of removing what you mention as ‘the backpack only displays 3 tools at once’ on mobile. I can see why it’s like this by default but I feel developers should be able to change this default behavior without having to implement a custom backpack system.

Give us control of changing the order or index of tools in a player backpack.*

But I support, would be better then writing a custom backpack.

I dont know how this still hasnt been added yet, this leaves me with either buggy workarounds (removing all tools, and reparenting in order) or forcing me to make a custom inventory script
