For components, I would guess that the "General Group" field works similarly to "Facility Group", but again, haven't verified that.

Nope, just one big list for components. You can use component groups in filters (which makes the list only show components in that group), but those are very slow to use compared to good sorting.

Or maybe I'll just add some info to make it know what order to put it in the file, because the alpha-sorting by name or facility group is actually kind of useful as well.

I think you run the risk of making a confusing interface here. You want to let the user move the items, but still want it alphasorted? You've got to go one way or the other here, or provide some sort of option to switch between them.

The component group is used for prioritizing repairs.
I find that there tends to be serious conflicts between filtering on that and getting useful repair priorities.

Since the order of components is everything a filter is, but better, and bad repair priorities have no workaround, repair priorities win.
