Hello,
How are the variables in an SQL-based question sorted in the UI on the right hand side (e.g. to connect to field filters etc)?
At first, it is by the order in which I create the variables in the query, however after about 6 or so, the order just becomes randomised. So any new variables don't go to the bottom of the list. For queries with lots of filters, this becomes quite inefficient.
