Anybody ever successfully documented a pattern variation in PL?
I have:
```
menu-block.twig
menu-block.yml
menu-block.md <-- works
menu-block~footer.yml <-- works
menu-block~footer.md <-- doesn't work :(
```

no, I think I tried that once. There was something else that the variations wouldn’t do, but I forgot what it was :confused:

okay. That seems to be the consensus :disappointed:

@bjlewis2 Emulsify's "card" has a variation `card~bg.yml` but the md file does not have the `~` and it works. (`card-bg.md`) (edited)

Sweet! I got it. Looks like you can’t have numbers in the file names. (I have numbers in the yml files to order then visually)

Here’s what works for me:
```
menu-block-footer-cta.md
menu-block-footer.md
menu-block.md
menu-block.twig
menu-block.yml
menu-block~01-footer.yml
menu-block~02-footer-cta.yml
```


However, the md file looks like it takes precedence over the yml file’s order, so they’re showing in the opposite order that I want them. (edited)

Huzzah! You can add the number to the beginning of the md file to order them!

So, this works, and shows them in the order I want:
```
01-menu-block.md
02-menu-block-footer.md
03-menu-block-footer-cta.md
menu-block.twig
menu-block.yml
menu-block~footer-cta.yml
menu-block~footer.yml
```


(I removed the numbers from the yml files since that doesn’t do anything anymore)

P.S. If you are just using the yml files, and add numbers to order them, the number _has_ to come after the `~` otherwise it’ll say “I can’t find the component `01-whatever.twig`
