what determines the order in with the componets (pipe, flanges, fittings etc...) appear in the spec view

can that oder of apearance be manipulated?

I was watching the issue and the only thing I found on the "Settings" tab, create a custom order and make alphabetical order by moving up or down each of the elements, I hope to serve you, greetings

There's a sort sequence field in the spec that determines the order. Make a backup before playing with those values.
