How is order of children decided?
I have an empty game object with 3 children 2 empties and 1 mesh. I thought the order was alphabetical, but when I have the names as A,B,C and it will show me the order is C,B,A. They are listed in the hierarchy in proper order, but when I use GetChild(0) they give me what should be GetChild(2). Anyone know why this might be?
Best Answer
They are listed upon the order of creation.
yeah to see the order switch the inspector to Debug(by clicking on little parallel lines on top right of the inspector window) all children are sorted by "Instance ID value".
in editor children are sorted, but internally not.
use

to get children by name
