Creating NPC

When you make an NPC, the actions automatically place themselves in alphabetical order. This is really frustrating and looks horrible because i have to put A. B. C. before every ability to organize it the way i want.
If you're talking about token actions, there is a check box under the Settings Tab (gear icon) within the game that lets you turn it off. If you uncheck the box, you can then go into the NPC's Attributes and Abilities tab and drag the token actions into any order you like. (this is for the Roll20 D&D 2014 sheet - I don't know about the 2024 sheet)
I checked to make sure i had this off and i indeed did. Unfortunately flipping it on and off seems to have changed every stat sheet to alphabatized and i still can't move them around. I can on character sheets but can't seem to do it on NPC sheets.

The problem is the 2024 sheet. It is alphabetized on the sheet itself. On a non-2024 sheet the setting obeys the order in the Abilities tab or sets the buttons up in alphabetical order.  The 2024 sheet's Character Macros section (equivalent of Abilities tab) is organized alphabetically, so you have your choice of Alphabetically organized buttons, or alphabetically organized order in the Character Macros. Ie...the same thing :( I suggest contacting Roll20 and requesting they discontinue organizing the Character Macros alphabetically. It is a parity issue with how token actions are supposed to work. 
My hero! Ok at least knowing this makes me feel not blind and insane haha. Thank you. I guess for now i'll keep putting 1. 2. 3. in front of my skills but i'll write something to them. Hopefully my addition to bringing up the issue helps. Gauss said: The problem is the 2024 sheet. It is alphabetized on the sheet itself.
