Order by X then by Y

EESchema, annotate

It seems natural to expect an annotation option which follows reading conventions. I can see only

#Sort components by X position
#Sort components by Y position

This gives almost always yields very illogical-looking numbering IMHO

Suggest this would be useful
#Sort components by X position, then by Y position

Perhaps this is best done generically. Have two combo-boxes, separated by fixed text, i.e.
Sort by [combo-box] "then by" [combo-box]

The four options for each are
(X, X reverse, Y, Y reverse)

Making a choice in the first combo-box involves committing to X or Y, hence the second combo-box's choices should be narrowed to the other direction. So if combo #1 is "X" or "X reverse" then combo Y only allows "Y" or "Y reverse".
