Rearranging appdesigner generated code sections?

Is there a way to reorder generated code in app designer?. An example would be that I have user functions to select options called step1 through step4 then function for pushbutton to execute. Somehow the functions show up out of order and 1 shows up after pushbutton in code view. Really messy. I want to group functions together and in order of usage.

As far as I'm aware, callback functions cannot be reordered from within app designer. This is a known issue.

Private and public functions within the mlapp file can be reordered, though.

Depending on what's going on within the callback functions, one workaround might be to use one callback function for all "steps" and to define a switch/case within the callback function to handle different actions for each button.

Update: Starting in Matlab r2020b, change the stack order of UI components in App Designer using the reorder tool (see release notes).

Hi Roy,

I found this only now, but yes, the MATLAB 2020b has the functionality to reorder in the code browser window in the design view.

I've written an app: https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/71838-hierarchyviewer which allows you to reorder components and callbacks
