How to sort scene components alphabetically or at least reorder them?

I was thinking of a editor tool to clone the components , remove , sort them by name and add them back.

If you manage to do it, I’d be very happy to use it! (even if I think that this is a huge engine issue and Epic should fix it…)

I was previously actor component, and the ordering didn’t work (in C++), I switched them to scene component.

If you mean UChildActorComponent it works fine for me, I also tried with a UCameraComponent and the order seems to work, if you add stuff in BP everything will break:

It’s simply ridiculous!

If you mean any subclass of UActorComponent, bad luck, since they can’t be attached to a parent and this topic it’s still unsolved despite it’s been created in 2016: Blueprint component reordering.
It looks like nobody cares about ordering components at all…
