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.

    hello, we are still encountering this issue on 1.23.1 with unity 2022.3.50f1. the sort order of the addressable groups are still incorrect regardless of the sort setting in the Groups window, though the entries seem to be properly sorted. this fix does not appear to be in the changelog for this version either. this issue has been causing us a lot of headache in maintaining all of the assets for our live game

    I am not sure why the comment says the issue has been fixed in 2.3.16. I have upgraded my project from 2.2.2 to 2.3.16, and the issue still persists.

    This should be resolved in 2.3.16 and 1.23.1. You can install in Package Manager by using "Install by name" with the package version.

    We need a quick fix.
    It's hard because there are a lot of addressables groups.
    I would appreciate it if you could raise the priority and revise it.

    Agree, this is so annoying bug!

    Reproduced in Unity 2022.3.51f1, addressables 1.22.3

    I agree with @MikePage_Artrix, managing hundreds, even thousands of groups is a nightmare with this new bug.

    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.
