I notice I'm losing precious seconds of concentration whenever I want to inspect the value of a variable within the Locals panel; I always have trouble simply finding the variable I want to look at in the panel list. I don't seem to have this problem when using other debuggers (at least not to the same extent).

I think the problem for me is I can't predict how expressions are sorted. They aren't sorted alphabetically or by declaration order. I haven't found any options within the UI to control the sort order either.

I understand I can type in my own expressions and hover over variables within the source view. But I want the ease and speed of simply glancing over at the Locals panel.

I would appreciate any usage tips, documentation, or quality-of-life features (e.g., clicking on column name to sort alphanumerically, a user preference for controlling the default sorting rule, or right-clicking a variable in the source view and picking a context menu entry to "show variable in locals view") that will help me predict where within the Locals panel to look for a specific variable.

Thank you!
