NetBox version

v3.6.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Request to sort the "related object" types when viewing an object. Either by name or number of occurrences.

e.g.
When viewing a tenant the Related Object Pane lists object types without order:
"""
Sites —
Racks —
Rack Reservations —
Locations —
Devices —
Virtual Device Contexts
...
"""

It is not super intuitive to find the related object you are looking for.

Use case

This is mainly a housekeeping request. This would make locating the related object more intuitive.

Database changes

This was implemented in https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/pull/14196, however, it looks like we need to take another look to ensure this is consistently implemented.
