Order the order of shown Component Templates

In Classic the component templates are shown in alphabetical order, when adding a component with multiple CT's to a page, not optimal, but understandable. In ES however, the order is based on creation date or ID, which results in a random looking order. It would be great if the order can be arranged. We don't use the None CT, but this one is always on top. We could then place it at the bottom. And also would order the CT's based on most used.

Dropdown menu showing a list of component templates in Tridion Sites, with 'None' selected at the top and other templates listed below, such as 'Ankeiler block - icon' and 'Apps showcase'.

    Yes, the ordering of component templates is alphabetic in 10.1 and also in 10.0 if you apply hotfix DXUI_10.0.0.38967 or later.

    As you point out, setting the TRIDION_SITES_DATAPIPELINE_DISABLED environment variable to true will hide the None option (selecting a component template becomes mandatory).

    We don't support custom ordering, but it is possible to limit the component templates shown in the drop down using region constraints.
