Make Unions/MeshParts Sort Below Models

For some reason UnionOperations / MeshParts are currently sorted on top of Models in the explorer. This is a weird behavior because these are still individual pieces whereas models are collections of pieces so it doesn’t make much sense.

Example of strange behavior:

It would be ideal if they still were ordered above parts, but below models!

Yeah, it does feel weird, doesn’t it?

I’d put it in this order (up to down) specifically:

  • Models
  • MeshParts
  • UnionOperations
  • Parts

I remember this being suggested back when the Trello board was still a thing; for some reason it didn’t get implemented and was put in the ice box? Anyway, this would be nice. Container-style objects should always sort before others.

Agreed, it is a bit awkward how it is at the moment tbh.

Support. Find this frustrating too.

Or maybe MeshParts, UnionOperations and Parts should all have equal priority and just sort by name.

I also wouldn’t mind if little things like this were configurable somehow, as it can streamline workflow for some devs.

You can accomplish this behaviour using Reflection Metadata in the meantime; however the documentation on it was removed from the rbxwiki about a month ago.

Optional orders would actually be perfect!

As nice as options would be for everything in existence, that sounds overkill for something like this and out-scopes what would be a simple change into a larger task.

We need a default that makes sense and is easy to use.
