Reorder Objects

Opens via Tools › Reorder Objects.

Changes the order in which ships, wings, props, waypoint lists, and jump nodes are stored. That order is what gets written to the mission file, and it controls how each type is listed in order-based UI such as the Scene Browser. Reordering does not move anything in space, rename anything, or change any references. These objects are referred to by name everywhere else, so their references stay intact.

Moves apply immediately. There is no Apply or Cancel step: each move rewrites the stored order as soon as you make it, and closing the dialog keeps whatever order you have set.

Tabs

Each object type has its own tab. Switch tabs to reorder that type independently.

Tab	Reorders
Ships	The order of individual ships, including player starts.
Wings	The order of wings. Ships remain assigned to their wings; only the wing order changes.
Props	The order of props.
Waypoint Lists	The order of waypoint paths. The waypoints within each path keep their own order.
Jump Nodes	The order of jump nodes.

Moving items

Select an item in the list, then use the buttons beside it to reposition it. The buttons act on the selected item and are disabled when a move would have no effect (for example, Move up on the top item).

Button	Action
Move to top	Moves the selected item to the first position.
Move up	Moves the selected item one position earlier.
Move down	Moves the selected item one position later.
Move to bottom	Moves the selected item to the last position.
