alphabetically order preset parameters by default?

Hey,
I've been having a real headache getting my preset parameters of my complicated synth to display in Orion.
There is some bug that means every preset parameter that is checked as un-automatable, deletes 1 automatable parameter if it is higher in the list.
Thus I have no automatable parameters showing in Orion.
If the preset manager did a alphabetic string sort on the parameters it would fix it I think. All my arrays etc. are pre-fixed z, so they would be at the bottom of the list.
There is a workaround using order, but I can't do it. There are too many parameters(1709).
So yeah, my request is that the preset parameters are sorted alphabetically by default.
Thanks, Nick
edit-This would also aid with organizing the parameters. ATM in the saved preset .txt,
they are a jumbled mess, and using order doesn't fix that.
They will remain randomly listed from top to bottom. Cheers

hey I found something cool. To bulk edit the order number- use Microsoft Excel, after sorting in Flowstone with the string operations. Sorry if I sounded a bit insistent before, I have been editing preset parameters for 11 hours

Hi Nix,
that's an old bug which was recently discussed again. Good news: They fixed it in a new VST.dll.
I guess it'll be included on the next update.
Check your PM

Great!
It works, thanks so much.
hmm, maybe it is still a good idea to order them alphabetically though?
The user can set up groupings based on numerals and letters?
That's so great you could hook me up,
my VST is far more workable.
