I use pattrstorage to store UI objects contained in a patch "parent" and a patch "child".

Then, the objects of the patch "child" are stored in a umenu.

I made a small patch to explain you more simply (copy compressed).

In the umenu, the objects of the patch "child" are not always stored in the same order (it is very important for my final patch that the order is always identical: alphabetical order for example).

I illustrated that with 2 screen-capture.

How to make sure that is always in the same order, in umenu ?

Screen-capture are resulting from my final patch (captures are made at different times).

we see that in the patch "child" module_matrix1, the order is not identical at the 2 moments.

That is reflected in the umenu, and that is a problem for my patch (because the umenu is stored in pattrstorage also)
