Reorder frames in Simscape Multibody

Is it possible to reorder the frames of a File Solid without deleting and recreating them? I have a part that I added a frame to and it would make alot more sense for the frame port to be in the lower left corner. Instead it was created in the lower right. I can create a subsystem around that one File Solid and configure the ports for that subsystem but that seems like overkill. Simply flipping the block would work for that port, but then the others would be "wrong".

Hey,

I don't think we can directly reorder or rearrange the frame ports of a File Solid block in Simscape Multibody (MATLAB/Simulink) without deleting and recreating them. The order and position of frame ports on the block are determined by the order in which frames are defined and imported in the geometry file (e.g., STL, STEP, URDF) and their naming in the underlying CAD file.
