@Noecmm: Would ordering qualifiers and references by global property order suffice for your use cases? As described in phab:T169960. Or is a manual, per-item, order required? —SWilson (WMF) (talk) 05:42, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a user script that allows to do it for statements. But in most cases, the input order should not matter, and the output sort should be determined based on the data. Therefore, it is better to think about improving the data model here. — putnik 09:19, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose order is meaningless on wikidata. there is no good reason to do this and it clutters history. BrokenSegue 03:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
