Order Variables alphabetically

Order variables in Variables Tab alphabetically by name

fixes #2981

Description

Working with many variables, the variables view can get messy quickly. In order to keep the variables view more structured, variables will be displayed in alphabetical order. This ensures you can easily find a variable value you are looking for.

Would it be possible to have the same sorting icons that they have in Collections. Instead of having to have them alphabetically

Technically this would be possible although I can't see any benefit.

Current behavior is that the variables should have the order in which they were first set. This can get pretty random when working with large collections.

Having a button for the order actually would be a drawback because it requires one click more by the user and adds the complexity of the code without any real benefit.

Ok personally coming from postman , I arrange my variables in the order that I edit the most because you can order them yourself and i like to see them in the same order

So i created them in this order when migrating to bruno. Would be a draw back to be forced alphabetically.

but it's ok too

You are talking about environment variables I guess? Because for runtime variables I guess there is no way to influence their order except by the order you call them.

Generally speaking though I would recommend to open a Feature Request for this: Modify Order of Variables (Custom Order)

Same also for the collection order, as currently there's no way to really modify the default order I guess, though #2554 could be addressing this maybe?
