Symbol Editor - Pin Properties tab order not consistent

[gmc]

Its been bugging me for a while now that the pin properties order is not consistent. Should I open a issue for this or is it just me that’s being OCD.

In the symbol editor if you open up a components and edit the pins when pressing TAB to scroll through the properties it jumps around a bit and does not flow from top to bottom.

It’s a pain when having to edit lots of pins. Wearing down my TAB key

Current order is:
pin name
pin number
x pos
y pos
pin length
name text size
number text size
electrical type
graphic style
orient

The table view might be the faster option when editing lots of pins.

@gmc it is an usability bug and if you can do report it, at least it will make the developers aware of it and it is an easy bug fix for one of the new developers to tackle.

Thanks, never used the table view before so will look into this.

Will also report it for awareness.
