Sort Attributes

It would be great if the items of the attributes reference combo box would be in alphabetical order.

If I create a global attribute set and then a file attribute set to reference it, as you can see on the attached image from the help file, the items in the combo box are in added order, not in alphabetical order.

I tried to change the sorting order at the Attributes panel header and at the Preferences->Edit Attributes->Browse, where I added the items, but nothing happened, they're not changing the order of that combo box.

If I'll add 50 or much more items, it'll not easy to find the right one.

Thanks and Regards,
Mammut

I wonder if this just hasn't been implemented yet or is a bug since there is a Configure icon we can click on but it doesn't seem to do anything.

On my PC this command (or pressing the Gear button) opens the Edit > Preferences > Attributes configuration dialog.

Build 116 sorts the contents of the Reference Attribute drop-down alphabetically by the referenced Attribute.
