geoserver applied styles shuffled order

Question

I uploaded a multi columns table (GIS data) to Geoserver,

and I created different styles for each column, and named them with number as initial and then column name like So I see everything in order.

style Names: 00_f1 01_f2 02_f3 03_f4 04-f5

but Geoserver does not preserve the order and the selected styles will appear not ordered in Mapstore or even Openlayer preview of Geoserver.

am I doing something wrong in here? or this is the feature / problem of Geoserver?

consider this, I have 100 columns and if I want to select a specific style I need to see all of them to choose .

GeoServer will display the attributes in the order they are stored in the feature. - Styling will have no effect on the order - please edit your question to make it clearer what is not working for you (maybe a screenshot of the problem?) — Ian Turton

where are you looking for the styles? GeoServer doesn't care about the order and may or may not honour it - It sounds like you need to fix the order in your client code — Ian Turton

This seems to be a client side issue, you need to apply a sort function to the style names before you insert them into your client's GUI element.
