Set order of parameters as listed for automation

[TNTHM]

How can we set the order that our parameters are listed in for automation purposes?

Say we have

Reverb

with parameters

Wet
Dry
Length

When I tick is plugin parameter and name them, how do I specify what order to list them in?

[Christoph Hart]

@TNTHM they will appear in the order of the component tree, so if you need to change them, just move them around in the component list.

@Christoph-Hart Great! Thank you.

@Christoph-Hart Is this still true? They're not showing up in component-tree order for me.

They're mostly jumbled up, but some are in pairs, and oddly, the filter envelope params are together in the correct ADSR order.

Tested AU in Ableton Live, Reaper and Logic Pro.

@dannytaurus There are methods to force your own order:

UserPresetHandler.setPluginParameterGroupNames(Array pluginParameterGroupNames)

UserPresetHandler.setPluginParameterSortFunction(Function customSortFunction)

[dannytaurus]

@ustk I use them, but they don't seem to enforce order for AU in Ableton Live and Reaper.

Logic does its own thing because that's the only DAW I'm testing that recognises group names.

@dannytaurus Mmmm very true,I just tested it (I'm in a middle of a release and this slipped my mind...)

@dannytaurus Pro tools respects the order as well
