Description

@phillipivan

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a specific module?

  • I believe this to be a feature for companion, and is not specific to a module

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched for similiar existing issues

Describe the feature

At the moment the ordering of connection in the Variables tab/ page is essentially random (by initialization order I think). This makes it really hard to find connections in large configurations when the the list extends beyond what can fit on the display.

If these were sorted alphabetically it would be much easier to find the appropriate connection.

The same applies to the lists of actions and feedbacks, when adding those to a button or trigger.

Image

The connections page also has the concept of collections, perhaps this could be reflected in the above somehow? IT might offer a further improvement. Perhaps in a similar way to how presets can be split into different sections.

Usecases

When working with large configurations, these little UI quirks frequently slow work down trying to find the appropriate connections.
