Question by ShadowUser19 · Aug 15, 2018 at 09:05 PM · scenes settings source-control

Is it possible to force m_name to be first setting in unitys yaml based scene files?

I don't know how to describe this question, but I find it really hard to look back at the changes I made to my scene files in a version control system like git.

My problem is that I have to scroll up & down in order to find the name of the GameObjects whenever I make changes to them.

To make it a little more clear, lets assume I changed the position of some TNT object as part of some other changes:

 Prefab:
   m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
   serializedVersion: 2
   m_Modification:
     m_TransformParent: {fileID: 0}
     m_Modifications:
     - target: {fileID: 4556699671456824, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_LocalPosition.x
       value: 1
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}

       propertyPath: m_LocalPosition.y
       value: 1
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     - target: {fileID: 4556699671456824, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_LocalPosition.z

       propertyPath: m_LocalRotation.y
       value: -0.7071068
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     - target: {fileID: 4556699671456824, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_LocalRotation.z
       value: -0.7071068
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     - target: {fileID: 4556699671456824, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_LocalRotation.w
       value: 0
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     - target: {fileID: 4556699671456824, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_RootOrder
       value: 11
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     - target: {fileID: 1351584459998396, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
       propertyPath: m_Name
       ================= but here is the name of the changed object
       value: TNT <================= but here is the name of the changed object
       ================= but here is the name of the changed object
       objectReference: {fileID: 0}
     m_RemovedComponents: []
   m_SourcePrefab: {fileID: 100100000, guid: f354dd98dea3d4f02b2e04d635c3b976, type: 2}
   m_IsPrefabAsset: 0

Why do I have to scroll all the way down to see which object is changed? Can I somehow force Unity so that it writes the name of the objects first before all the other properties or do I have to do it manually?
