Hi,

It would be nice to sort the RSS feed filters alphabetically, and not only by manually choosing order of them.

The order of the filter matters.
They are applied from top to bottom until the first one matches.
Alphabetical order makes no sense.

Example:

1 Reject: HDTV
2 Accept: Anonymous People

This would reject the job "Anonymous People (HDTV)".
If you reverse the order that job would be accepted.

Rgd feature request of sorting..
Right now, the sort only works one way.. is it possible to do it both ways? i.e. ascending or descending as desired?

Sorting?
There is no sorting of the filters.
The filters need to be in a specific order to work correctly.

Oh sorry.. i was thinking about the sort in the queue list. Not filters in the RSS.

Poorly explained by me. I'll try again. I meant sorting as in sorting view the filter names alphabetically for viewing purposes only. They are applied in the numbered order as I understand, but if I have many filters, I have to manually check if I have remembered a specific filter.

Example:

Order      Filter
0            *Blabla*
1            *other*
2            *another*
3            *evenanother*

With what I try to explain with a sorting button for the filters (ascending or descending), this ends up like this:

Order    Filter
2            *another*
0            *Blabla*
3            *evenanother*
1            *other*

As I said, it's for viewing purposes only, the filters are still applied in the numbered order (0,1,2,3), but it's now possible to easier to read the filter names.

Since the order of the filters is important as to what gets picked up (especially when reject filters are used) I think it would be too confusing to not display the filters in the order that they get picked up in; and could lead to people missing downloads due to the order not being right. Sorry.

No problem, I understand your concern. I can manually sort them before I enter them for my own sake (or in the .ini file).
