Re-ordering feature values (position)

[PalmPeter]

We have Prestashop 1.7.7.2 installed.

It is possible to reorder attribute values (by position) in the admin?
The position column is working AOK to reorder attribute values. But there is not position column showing to reorder feature values.

There's a workaround suggested in an archived thread here (by adding a number to feature names). But that's an unsatisfactory solution given the way attribute values are re-positionable.

Does anyone know of any improvements to this since 2017?

Do you mean something like this module?

Do you mean sorting attributes or only properties and their values?

Thanks Knacky,
 Does that let you edit the order of features values too?

 Here's a couple of screenshots of the features admin and attributes admin in 1.7.7.2 ...

 The attribute value order is already editable ... with a position column showing up (drag-and-drop repositioning works).
 But the very similar features value table does not have a position column, making the default order of features values the order in which they were created.

 I can happily choose what order I want garment sizes or colours to output (using the attribute value position column) ... but I'm unable to control what order product 'features' are output in (there is no position column and features get output in the order they were created).

 Does your module let you assign position (order) to feature values?

Does Prestashop 8 allow you to set feature position in the same way you can set attribute position? (Looking at reasons to update)

@PalmPeter if your problem as mine, was that the order is important in the filters, some filter modules allow to order the values. For example Advanced search module from prestamodules does this.

Thanks Tamara,

 My problem is that we display features in a list on our product pages.

Under the 'details' tab on a product page like this one https://palm.equipment/gb/touring-pfds/10-peyto-pfd

Features are useful to us, rather than just putting a text field here, since many of the features are shared between lots of products and using the Prestashop Features helps with translating these and applying them consistently to many products.

It does not appear possible to control the order/position of Features though ... unlike Attributes that Prestashiop allows you to set a position for.

In PrestaShop 1.7.7.2, the position column works for attributes, but not for features. It would be great if feature reordering was added in future updates. The workaround with numbers isn't ideal.
