@GTPWilks As you know, it doesn’t matter in what order the items are in the JSON in order to perform operations especially in your case like project settings.
But for your ask like readability or any other case like mine (https://forums.eggplantsoftware.com/t/property-lists-query-in-the-same-order-as-it-is), if SenseTalk could provide an option not to automatic sort would help here. But as of now, No such option if you read this thread.
