    We've added hundreds of custom events to track folks progress through our tutorial. However, they all appear in random, haphazard order in the Data Explorer. Has anybody else ran into this, and how do I sort my custom analytics alphabetically?

    There currently isn't a way to sort custom events. We hope to add this usability improvement soon.

    I also did want to mention that all of the custom event dropdowns are also text boxes. So you can type in the name of the event you are looking for and only those that match will show up.

    We just updated the dashboard, so custom events should now be in alphabetical order.

    Thanks! After listing a number of custom events in Data Explorer, I cannot reorder them. Could you please add that too?

    Currently, if I want to change any event in the list that is not the last, I would need to change all of the events in the list.

    Seems crazy. There are hundreds, thousands of people using this system every day, no? Do they use some other method? Thanks!

    Most users with heavy data requirements use Raw Data Export, a Pro-only license feature. The Dashboard only provides an aggregated view into your data. You might also look into deltaDNA https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAnalyticsRawDataExport.html and https://unity.com/products/deltadna
