Change AddOn Settings Order?

Selrach · 04/27/14, 02:40 AM

As in the title, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the order for the AddOn's settings. To give an example:

You see how the addons show up in no particular order? I thought it might be order of install/registering in the game client, but that doesn't seem right to me.. it may be something really simple, but I can't figure out what order they're in, or if there's a way to change it. Considering the growth of my addon list, I'd like to be able to arrange them alphabetically or.. well something other than no apparent rhyme or reason anyways.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Its in order of loading addons, I think there is no easy way to sort items in settings menu.

Well, that bytes.

I would guess LAM could sort it, since it is responsible for adding most of them to that menu.

LAM could, but that would require waiting for all addons to register with it first and create their panels, then sort their order, then actually create the panels and let the addons set up their options.

Not impossible, but it would break a whole lot of addons if they weren't updated for the change.

LAM being LibAddonMenu?
Sounds like it'd cause more problems than it'd solve to even try. Ah well.
Maybe someone will come out with a genius revelation in the future, guess I'll just wait and see. =3

Edit: Also, thanks for responding and informing me about it all!
