Preset List Order

[HISEnberg]

Is it possible to customized the order that presets are displayed, within the floating tile preset browser? I know this is fairly easy to do with a customized preset browser but I am using the built in browser in this case. By default the list displays alphabetically, but I want my "Default" setting to be the first one displayed.

@HISEnberg I use the - prefix to ensure that the default preset is listed at the top.

@orange Thanks that is a useful trick. I am also trying to organize my list non-alphabetically so this only gets me part of the way there. :)

It gets you all of the way - you don't have to show the actual name of the file in the preset browser ;)

@d-healey Ohhhhh clever I think I understand. How do you change the displayed name of the preset? I think you mean if I name my Presets like so:

1-Default
2-Preset4
3-Preset1

etc.

And remove the "i-" from the name I can reorder them?

Exactly, you can do this using LAF

@d-healey Would you recommend the .replace function? I can't figure out a simpler method of doing this

inline function cleanPresetName(displayName) {
    return displayName
        .replace("1-", "")
        .replace("2-", "")
        .replace("3-", "")
        .replace("4-", "")
        .replace("5-", "")
        .replace("6-", "");
}

@HISEnberg Replace is good, if you combine it with substring then you don't need to write it out for each number.

const presets = ["1-Default", "2-Preset4", "3-Preset1"];

inline function cleanPresetName(name)
{
    return name.replace(name.substring(0, name.indexOf("-") + 1));
}

Console.print(cleanPresetName(presets[1]));

@d-healey Great thank you so much. I think I need a refresher on the String API.
