hierarchy completely randomized, randomly!

been working on a project for 2 years and never had this issue. I had all my gameobjects nicely organized but just now for NO reason, the hierarchy completey randomized! completely scrambled!

Does anyone know why this happened? and I supposed i can reorganize it again but damn bro, how can I avoid this? is this a bug? It has to be.

Are you sure you don’t have a very common letter in the filter (Search) field??

i am 1000% sure. I’ve read on how some other people had this issue but on a super old post. like unity 5.

Perhaps you could show a screenshot of this “randomized” hierarchy?

sure. its just all my gameobkects…disorganized.

I had placed all my npc together, my vehicles together, buildings together, etc etc.

Not in folders but just sorted by object type so to speak.

car1
car2
car3
car4
car5
npc1
npc2
npc3
npc4
ettc.

Now its all mixed up.
