Question about Ability Order from the journals

When I give Abilities on the journal, and click the box to show as a token action, what is the order that they appear across the top of the screen for the players of the journal? I've tried alpha and numeric titles for the abilities but they seem somewhat random as to how they populate the top of the screen... Thanks for your help! Barry

From my experience: If you only have Abilities as Token Actions, they should show in the order you have them sorted in the Journal's Attributes & Abilities tab. If you have any Macros that are set to be Token Actions, the order is indeterminate.

My experience matches Aaron's, its also worth noting that if you add new abilities then the order can sometimes go awry especially if you have a whole bunch of them... quick fix is to just move one of them in the order (then put it back if you like) then when the token is unselected... then reselected... the order should be restored
They will appear in the order that they were toggled to be visible. So if you had: A B C D and toggled in that order they would appear as such, but if you toggled it B,C,A,D it would appear as such as well. Also if you have more that 10 token actions visible in the bar, they become mis-ordered due to Roll20 not guaranteeing order. The issue has been raised a few times but there's currently no suggestion active for it.
Thanks. Very helpful.
