Savings Budget Category Order

I didn’t see a prior post that discusses this specific question: what controls the order of the categories in the Savings Budget? I would have expected it to be alphabetical, and it almost is but it’s seemingly random, whereas the built-in Monthly Budget has alphabetized categories.

I do usually re-sort the Categories sheet whenever I add a new line in order to keep the categories list here alphabetical and grouped by type and group. Could this sorting have caused the problem? If so, anyone have suggestions on fixing the Savings Budget order? Thank you!

The “Sort By” toggle (J3 on my sheet) allows you to sort the Savings Budget. If you choose Category, it will be alphabetical within each group. The Budget and Savings options will sort in descending order of those.

Well I feel silly since that was staring me in the face. Thank you @dmetiller.
