Hi! I wanted to ask if it is possible to export a custom glyph order so that it appears correctly in the Adobe Glyph Table? Setting a custom parameter didn’t help; in the Font Table Viewer, the order is correct except that .notdef, CR, and space appear before all other characters, even though “A” is set as the first glyph in the custom parameter. Thank you.
As per the OpenType spec 1.8.2, .notdef should be the first glyph of the font. space and CR were also included in the recommendation until 1.8, and Glyphs automatically puts them as the first glyphs.
Apart from that, the glyph order is as expected, no? However, it is not appearing correctly in your Adobe programme. How are you testing your font? Are you using the Adobe fonts folder?

You have to switch the Adobe Glyph Panel to sort glyphs by GID to see the order defined in the font.
To not put the space glyph at the beginning of the glyph order, but fully respect the custom order, you need to add this undocumented custom parameter:
{
customParameters = (
{
name = "Keep GlyphOrder";
value = 1;
}
);
}

Thanks a lot for that information. Below, I see to use GID sorting, that solved the issue.
Thanks a lot for your response, problem solved!
