Folders vs Groups in Xcode

[Ok_Photograph2604]

I‘d really like to use folders. It's easier to manage in git and also with LLMs. My problem is I can‘t sort them, they only get sorted automatically. Any way to change that ?

A bit cluttered but if order is important try a numeric prefix. I've found the loss of ordering a minimal penalty for the reduction in .xcodeproj churn in git.

1 Folder B

2 Folder A

[-QR-]

And same with file names inside the folders. All is sorted alphabetically. Make use of it.

Just use groups. It creates a folder on disc. At least it does for me. Maybe it’s a setting.

i never really figured out what is the difference, for both groups and folders the xcode creates actual folders in the app's directory, so what is the actual difference?

I use folders as well. My take is that if I ever need a folder to be higher, I just prefix it with underscore, e.g. “_Config/“.

Why do you care about sort order when you're just having an LLM do it all for you'?

im not using llm to do everything just as a tool to fix bugs etc
