Objects panel suggestion

Hi Micheal

At the moment the objects panel lists items alphabetically, would it be possible to build in a feature to display the list by dragging in order manually. So instead of:

Centre part
HUD
Internal Panels
LHS
Lower centre

I could have my objects "grouped" together like:

Centre part
Lower centre
HUD
LHS
Internal Panels

I often have many objects in my file and i like to name the objects descriptively but then objects which co exist together are at opposite ends of the object list. Ideally so the list work more like the items in modo or layers in illustrator . . .

Hi Matt, I would like to add that in the future - it will involve a fair amount of work to make it happen so I'm not sure exactly when though.

I run into this in another program as well. You can't drag the list to organize items.

My workaround is to assign a numeric prefix (01, 02, 99, etc.) to keep parts of the same assembly clustered together in the list. Each member of the "group" shares the same prefix.

Add a letter (01a, 01b) if you want to prioritize within a group.
