The Layers drop-down in the Info box, settings dialog, etc is always alphabetical. Changing the sort order in the Layer Settings dialog, filtering by extension, etc only affects your view within that dialog/window.
Same thing for all other attributes - fills, building materials, etc. You can change the sort order in Attribute Manager, but it will have no affect on drop-downs elsewhere.
