Question

Components are getting out of order in Adobe XD.

The latest (Nov 5th 19) release of Xd has automatically re-ordered my full components list (which was manually grouped into types for ease of use) of about 200 components.

    Hi All,

     

    We are sorry for the trouble that you are facing components getting reordered. The team is already aware of the issue and is working on it to fix. However, would you mind updating  XD to the latest version(24.4.22.1)? Let us know if you are still experiencing the same issue.

     

    We will try our best to help.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Hi Community and developers,

    Firstly, i would like to tell you that i'm French, so i will do my best to be understandable 😉

    I don't really understand if the developper team watch the forum but i try to see 😛

     

    I'm currently trying to create a CheatSheet in XD (as Material design or Bootstrap have their own) just to try to improve my skills, maybe in the future to try to adapt it is a complete CSS/JS Framework or i don't know ... 

     

    Because i'm really psychorigid, i'm trying to rename each component I create and organize them to a logical order. But, by doing that i have one problem :

    I didn't found exactly which way make me that happend but, sometime, the components in the component list reset the sorting i just made (the more often when I restart AdobeXD). And because i would like to have a really clean workspace, i'm very annoyed of that ... I already remade the order 3 or 4 times, but now that I have many components, i don't want to do it again ...

    (Little tip: it seems that the order in which AdobeXD remake my list is the creation time order)

     

    Is that a bug or it is just that I don't know how to proceed ?

     

    BTW : Now i'm here, i should be really AWESOME if adobeXD's team could implement a directory system for components !

     

    Thank you by advance if you read my message i really love this software and I would like to do more with this 😉

    Hi All,

     

    I have a recurring bug/issue with XD. My Colors, Character Styles, & Components are constantly reordered when I reopen my files. Is this a known issue, or is there a solution?

     

    Thank you,

    Aaron

      Hi Aaron, 

       

      We are sorry to hear you are facing trouble using Adobe XD. It would be really helpful if you can share a few more details like-

       

      • What is the OS & XD version of your machine?
      • Is it happening with all the files or with a specific file?
      • Could you please share a short video of the workflow so that we can understand better?

       

      We will try our best to help.

       

      Thanks,

      Harshika

      My Adobe XD software is up to date: XD (24.4.22)

       

      Some More Information:

       

      I have two files: (1) a design system, and (2) a linked file that uses that design system. 

       

      Today, to track the bug, I carefully ordered my components within (1) design system. I deleted a component, then I pressed CTRL+Z to undo that delete. When I did so, the components were suddenly out of order.

       

      For me, this does not happen with Character Styles or Colors - only Components.

      I have the exact same problem.
      Components reorders in both my Master file and any file where I link my assets. 

      (Don't really understand why you need video of this)

        This keeps happening - I haven't even closed the file but they keep resetting to be oldest > newest.

         

        This needs fixed ASAP, it not easily usable.

        Hi Nj-a,

         

        Sorry that you're having trouble with components arrangement. I understand that it could be frustrating. We'll try our best to help you out with this. 

         

        I'd like to know if this happens with a specific file or you see this behavior with all the files. I'd also request you to share the screenshot/GIF or a short video so that we may have a better understanding about your issue. 

         

        Awaiting your response. 

         

        Thanks,

        Atul_Saini

        Hi, I've been struggling to pinpoint what causes this, but have found a possible trigger (although, it's happened in another doc that I'm not doing these steps in).

         

        When I've deleted components (linked) it's triggered my existing ones to be re-ordered. I've got a video but I don't know how to add it here - UserVoice was a much better forum for bug reporting.
