I am looking for a way to sort Scenes & Sources in Alphabetical order, is there a way to do so in OBS, even through a plugin? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers!

Be careful. Sorting sources in alphabetical order doesn't make sense, because the order is important. It's a stack of sources. A source above another source is really above that other source and obscures what's under it.

About sorting scenes: if you have that many scenes that you need sorting, you should think about your scene design. It's not practical to have an immense amount of scenes. May be grid mode and intelligent manual sorting result in better overview instead of sorting: right-click within the scene window and choose "Grid Mode" at the bottom.

I hear you - but there are definitely instances where this would be very useful ... too me anyway.
Use case: I create a scene with a bunch of hidden overlays. This scene I then include in other scenes and use Lioranboard/Streamdesk to display them as and when desired. In this scenario, it matters not in which order they are layered, but being able to sort them alphabetically would be a winner, because with the number of sources in this scene, it becomes a mission to manage them.
