Subject: Control the order of maps in map selection window As it is, the order of the maps in the map selection window is "disk order", whichever random way your OS/filesystem drivers store and retrieve the maps on the physical device. I'm not particularly happy with this situation. I want my favorite maps on the first page, and all the rest after that. After some look at src/ui/graphical/menu/windows/windowmapselection/windowmapselection.cpp, I came up with a plan: I made a list of known maps, and put it in a list, new file src/ui/graphical/menu/windows/windowmapselection/maplist.h. Then I write routine in the cpp::void cWindowMapSelection::loadMaps() that caselessly compares the filenames and sorts them according to my list. So, if you want to change the order, you just tweak maplist.h and re-compile. I works beautifully. If you'd like to see my dirty hack, just let me know.

As it is, the order of the maps in the map selection window is "disk order", whichever random way your OS/filesystem drivers store and retrieve the maps on the physical device.
