effect chooser; user categories; change order

Post by Terry50 »

Hello, :woohoo:
I have made many user categories in my effects chooser.
I would like to put them in alphabetical order.
I tried dragging..
Is there a way to do this. It would be faster to find categories in the list this way.

Thank you,
Terry :D

Not directly. But if you drag them all in a new folder, then drag them all back into the original User folder in Alpha order, they will stay in that order.
