Sort Parent Children

Menu Path: GameObject > LogicCuteGuy > Sort Parent Children

A precision organization tool that reorders child GameObjects in the Hierarchy based on various criteria. This is essential for keeping complex scenes structured and making child objects easier to find.

Features​

  • Sorting Modes:
    • Name A-Z / Z-A: Alphabetical sorting.
    • Local Position Axes: Sort based on X, Y, or Z local coordinates (Ascending or Descending). Ideal for objects placed in a line or grid.
  • Bulk Operation: Sort children of a single designated parent or process multiple selected parents at once.
  • Index Stability: Uses sibling index reordering (SetSiblingIndex) which is safe and preserves data.
  • Undo Support: All sorting operations are fully undoable in a single step.

How to Use​

  1. Select a parent GameObject or open the tool window.
  2. Choose your Sort Mode (e.g., Name A-Z or Local Pos X Asc).
  3. Click Sort Children for the designated parent, or Sort Selected Parents for your current selection.

[!TIP] Sorting by Local Pos X Asc is extremely useful when you have a series of UI buttons, inventory slots, or repeated environment props that you want to correspond directly to their visual order from left to right.
