Can anyone tell me what the sort order is for the Named Controls list in Nnitex Form DesignerAbout Nintex Forms

Version: 2.8.1.0?   It is not is alpha order, it does not seem to be in the order that is defined in the Sharepoint list.  It is not in the order that they are found on the form.   It might be in the order in which they are placed on the form.   How am I supposed to find my control?   I will be dealing with dozens of controls.

yes, they are in the sequence they were created/placed on the form.

you can export form definition into XML, reorder form controls in some XML editor and import back. but who would do it regularly, wouldn't it?

one of plenty of designer annoyances ....

That is a MAJOR one.    You have to wonder what on earth the designers were thinking on that one.

I fully understand your frustration.

you can report it as a bug or you can raise an idea on uservoice.

but the fact is that these kind of problems unfortunately catch nintex's attention very rarely.

Yeah it'd be nice if it stayed in alphabetical order.
