UIs with numerical fields for the 4 sides of a box:
• should ideally be positioned really top, left, bottom, right.
• but where this is not possible and where the need to be in a layout column or layout row the order should be like in CSS when stating the 4 box values combined.
• Recommending to follow CSS convention as it is the strongest open standard regarding visual formatting and now around for 25 years.

Build 5631 will use the standard macOS order: top, left, bottom, right

Cool! So macOS already adapted to the CSS order too. Makes sense.

My concrete screenshot from "Add/remove margins" in the batch conversion UI was an example.
I assume in total in GC there are countless UIs incorporating "top right bottom left" parameters.
Did you manage a uniform order of "top right bottom left" in all UIs of GC?

The other items will be changed step by step.

I guessed so. B/c I assume changing all occurrences is quite an undertaking.

Naive idea: You could do some regex searching through your UI build files for files containing 2-4 hits from the word group "top right bottom left" to find that somehow systematic at least.
