Alternatively, you can also:
- Click Select All in the Property Editor to select all collection members in your scene and in the Outliner.
- Select only the collection members included by your expression, or only the collection members included via selecting and adding, by clicking the respective Select button in the Property Editor.
- Sort the list of members that are added explicitly by right-clicking and selecting Sort Alphabetically or Sort As Added.
