Font style list sort order


Recommended Posts

It would be nice to tweak the sort order for font styles within a font family to ensure they're ordered consistently regardless of the naming conventions.

Adobe - I believe they sort by width, weight, slope, and then alphabetically which leads to a predictable outcome in order of increasing weight and with the roman/regular version always listed before the italic. Condensed/expanded styles are always grouped together.

Affinity - I believe it sorts by weight and then alpha, but not by width or slope. Not sorting by slope leads to italics sometimes being sorted before the roman/regular version (Minion Pro, left) and not sorting by width leads to condensed styles not being grouped (Myriad Pro, right).

Apple - same as Adobe, but reverse sorts by width so the condensed styles are last.
