Additional context

I am reporting a request related to a sorting method of factor loadings in EFA.

When I would like to order loadings by variables (see the screenshot), JASP 0.95.0 displays them in a specific way: PACER1, then surprisingly PACER10, PACER11, PACER12, PACER13-PACER19, then surprisingly PACER2, and then PACER20-PACER25, and then surprisingly PACER3, PACER4, PACER5, PACER6, PACER7, PACER8, PACER9. It is somewhat inconvenient to use such an output with this sorting method in scientific papers. I would prefer to have variables other in this way: from PACER 1 to PACER25. I think that most users would like to use my suggested method to report variables from the first to the last in a way they were input in the "variables" box.

Another situation, when variables are started with different letters (not like in the above-described case, where all variables were started with the "P" letter), JASP 0.95 seems to sort them alphabetically (see the screenshot). Perchance, it is also a less convenient method of sorting. I would prefer to have the variables sorted in an order of how they were input in the "variables" box, i.e., from BehDiseng to Avoidance, rather than it is currently implemented in JASP 0.95.0 (i.e., from Acceptance to Venting; see the screenshots).

I would like to note that such changes have recently appeared. As I truly remember, previous versions of JASP used a previous (a more convenient) method of sorting, which was in accordance with my suggested method expressed here in this request. So, if possible, please return to the previous method of sorting because of its helpfulness.
