FS sort by keyword on mobile

I entered the below under an improvement request. I don’t know how to point anyone to it because it just seems to have disappeared into the ether.

Anyway, below is what I entered in the improvement request area

 ——————

The below is with regard to Onshape on the iPhone.

This is about how FeatureScripts are placed in random order. If there is a way to change the order - I’d sure like to know, because with almost 100, sometimes it takes me awhile to find the tool that I need.

It would certainly help if I could sort FeatureScripts by keyword. I would like this at the account level so that the sort stays when changing from document to document. And I would like the sort to hold when I turn the program off.

For keyword sorting, there could be a list (of all FeatureScripts) where I’m able to add keywords to these FeatureScripts.

All FeatureScript’s that have a keyword would be numerically/alphabetically ordered (by keyword) at the top of the list. Those FeatureScripts without a keyword would follow - at the bottom of the list.

The sort should happen automatically once you apply a keyword.

This way, If you work primarily with 20 different FeaturesScripts, you could have them right at the top of the list.

While using the Onshape iPhone app, I don’t want to search for a particular FeatureScript by keyword. That is, I don’t want to type in a keyword to search for and then select and use a particular tool (FeatureScript). I only need the keyword to help me sort the FeatureScripts — i.e. to put the FeatureScripts in a particular order under the Features icon (the globe)

The GIF below shows the random order of the FeatureScripts

    A truncated example of the ‘list for adding keywords’

    It would be nice to group all the Plane tools or Wood tools together
