Have you asked for help in discord?

YES

Describe your desired feature.

link to where i asked. if you wanna tell me "go ask on discord," go respond to me there.
As of this posting, that message has not been replied to. Hopefully that changes. Maybe I can even have a discussion of the issue here, as well?

I run a minecraft modpack with friends. Since the pack is on 1.19.2, there are no other options for sorting in a sane way.
My users don't like touching config files, and shouldn't have to, to be frank.
A few improvements to make things run more smoothly for their use case:

  • Include a few blank preset profiles for the user to save to
  • Save the current state as "Saved" profile hotkey should be reworked into a Save As... hotkey that prompts the user with a name for the profile to be saved as to prevent collisions
  • A new Save Profile hotkey should save to the currently selected profile, rather than to a new one that is named identically to every other saved profile
  • Reload profiles.txt after every Save Profile hotkey or Save As... hotkey
  • Sort Order should be triggerable via a hotkey or a GUI button (as mentioned in #351)

This doesn't automate custom rule editing as much as would be useful to an end-user, but it would go miles and miles towards being able to give end users a more polished experience with this mod.

If they want, they can go through and edit the files manually, and get all of the power that they need.

However, I know my end-users aren't also developers, meaning that in the mod's current state, they will not be able to take advantage of profiles at all, and that's an unfortunate loss on functionality.
