Sequence of buttons on ribbons no longer kept after upgrading plugin from Trados 2022 to Trados 2024

Dear community,

I have a Trados Studio plugin that creates a RibbonGroup in the Home ribbon. This group features 9 buttons.

I have set the sequence in which the buttons should appear in the ribbon by specifying the ZIndex parameter, e.g.

[ActionLayout(typeof(ERibbonGroup), 10, DisplayType.Large)]

The highest index equals to the first position from the left.

This works reliably on Trados 2022 (2022 SR2 - 17.2.10.19084). However, we are now testing Trados 2024 (2024 SR1 - 18.1.3.6657), so I have updated the plugin according to RWS instructions (https://developers.rws.com/studio-api-docs/articles/hints_tips/Update_Plugins/how_to_update_plugins_to_trados_studio_2024_sr1.html?tabs=standard).

Even though no other change has been applied, the sequence of the buttons appears now random. At the very least, it does not respect the ZIndex parameter.

Has anyone experienced this issue and knows any solution?
