Sort order for the Load Menu

[banjodan]

Is the list of projects in the Load Menu supposed to be in alphabetical order? It seems like sometimes it is, but other times it may be split. Currently my list is E thru Z followed by A thru E. Another thing, when I look at the files on my computer, they all have a modify date of July 6, 2061. Is that expected?

There is never a alphabetical order. It's a bit of a problem with a small embedded system as sorting a long list alphabetical needs much memory.
They are tools for your computer which can sort all stuff alphabetically. You might want to use those. And good sorting with not too many files in a folder helps as well.

Also, there is no time in the system (no real time clock), so all the saved files get the same time July 6, 2061. If we are all still alive until then, i will throw a party

So are you saying there is a way, using my computer, I can determine the order the files will show up in the Load Menu? Or did I misunderstand?

Yes, there are tools with which you can sort your files in the folders. I don't know names right now, but searching it up will help for sure.

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I figured I'd put the kind of software you need for this.

This will sort all the files on the SD card (including samples). There's other software that does the same, but this one is a fairly easy (and non-installed, it's portable) Windows program for doing this.

This "July 6, 2016" thing is one of the best sentence I have read about modulars.
