Topic: Trivial feature request # 374: Sort presets by Date in Preset list

Maybe not so trivial: If editing over more than one day and saving drafts, one can end up with several drafts with similar names.

If we save the drafts with different names, they get separated in the Presets list if we put the name change at the start of the file name and sort by instrument name. (All draft 1's will appear together, if All Instruments is selected.) If we do the logical thing and save the drafts to their correct folder and first click on the name of the instrument in the right column, and then sort by name, there's still the problem of knowing which preset the draft is for--again, all Draft 1's will be sorted together. Lots of scrolling involved.

On the other hand, if we put the draft number at the end of the file name, we may not be able to see it because of the necessarily narrow column for the preset list, and more importantly, if we load the file, we can't see the draft number in the Current Preset display.

Put it in the middle? But then it's hard to find in a list of drafts with similar names.

I don't know if another column will fit in the Presets list. But being able to just click on a Date heading would be good.
