Input Panel

If there are a large number of interfaces in each node group that need to be reordered, it is troublesome to click the arrange button one by one.

"Input Panel" is an updated version of "Array Nodes" that I proposed earlier. You can arrange the order of interfaces in "Group IO".

Compared with the Array Nodes I have done before, I don't know whether to use one of them or both. Anyway, I hope to better solve the problem of arranging so many input interfaces. arrnodes.jpg

Marking as Done. This is possible since Blender 4.0

Why not just have this behavior with the current node when folded down?

Can I press a lot of Fs to connect to the group inpu when the node is collapsed? So if you want to move some of the interfaces below the group input (about a dozen) to the top, is there any quick way?

The bigger problem I face is that I don't know the Blender source code at all. I only understand a small part of the Draw module. To design this node, I need to add new data types, add custom data structures to Blender, and make UI, which is very difficult for me. I don't know if any developers are willing to communicate.
