Sprite list sorting

[DNin01]

Why this would be helpful

You know the sprite list? Yeah, it can sometimes be useful to be able to locate a list item by its name or even what layer its sprite is on. Speaking of which, it'd also be cool to have a way to easily move sprites forward and back layers without having to code layer sorting.

How this addon works

This addon would add a button under the sprite list that would give you sorting options for the list. You could have the list be sorted alphabetically or by the sprites' layer order, with the sprites at the top layer first. This wouldn't change the order of the sprites at the project level - they'd just be visually reordered, so it'd reset every time you reload the editor.

As a bonus, you would be able to drag and reorder the sprites while they're sorted by layer order and the sprite would move forward or backward layers to match the list order.
