Addressable Groups are sorted by GUID regardless of set custom order when entering Play mode

Package: Addressables

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “AddressableGroups.zip” project
2. Open the “Addressable Groups” window (Window > Asset Management > Addressables > Groups)
3. In the “Addressable Groups” window, sort the groups in a random order
4. Enter Play mode
5. Observe the “Addressable Groups” window

Expected result: The Groups stay in the same custom order or are ordered alphabetically
Actual result: The Groups are sorted by their GUID

Reproducible with: 2.1.0 (6000.0.9f1)
Not reproducible with: 1.21.21 (2021.3.40f1, 2022.3.36f1), 2.0.8 (2023.2.20f1)

Reproducible on: Windows 11
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

  1. Resolution Note:

    The Addressable Groups window lets users "sort" for purposes of editing groups, but it is designed to always persist the groups sorted by GUID.

    This may be by design but it isn't a good design - you can't actually sort the groups by name in the addressable group inspect window even when editing groups.

    It doesn't matter if this order does not persist outside the addressable groups window, but not being able to sort by group name even when editing is a nightmare when you have a few thousand groups to work with.
