Re-ordering morphs in the shaping tab question

Tried a couple of searches, but no hits.

Is there a way, in Studio, to change the order of the morphs that show up in the Shaping tab?

I have a few sets where the morphs are arranged by body side, all the left side morphs first, then all the right side morphs, which I find very awkward for posing/shaping. One can adjust a left side morph, for example, and then one has to scroll down the lists of morphs to locate the corresponding right side morph, trying to remember the setting for the left one. It's a slow process and tedious.

What I would prefer is to order the morphs by body area, left side and right side morphs adjacent to one another in the shaping tab, which would be much quicker and more effective for my style of working. One could make an adjustment to the left side and immediately compliment it with a matching right side morph.

Been looking at morph dsf's in the data folder, but that's a new research topic for me, and beyond "group" path, I don't really know what I'm looking for or at, yet.

So, how is the ordering of morphs in the Shaping tab determined? Can it be modified from within Studio, or does it require explicit changes to data files?

Thanks in advance if anyone has feedback about this.

    If the morphs are in a single group they are listed alphabetically, as far as I know, which you could change only by renaming them or sub-dividing them into groups - a few could be done with the Parameter Settings for each slider (click the gear at the right-end of the slider) but a larger number would best be done through the Property Editor

    Thank you. The property Editor is a new learning area for me, so I'll give that a whirl.

    Did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm looking into how to do the same thing but in the Parameters pane.

    You can't. In the parameter pane it's too late!
    You can adopt an old dirty trick that's making a numeric prefix for each morph name in the desire order.
    There's also another option consisting in an edit session of the .cr2 in the groupnode list, where you can set the desired sequence.
    But if you need to group the morphs then what Richard wrote is king...

    The other option would be to the left and right designations at the end of the morph's name.
