In the FX Browser, the recently-used FX are listed in order of loading, most recent at the top.
In the right-click >> "Add FX" >> "Recently used" menu they are listed in alphabetical order (based on the full path name, for JS FX), within category.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but neither is ideal. And the different display orders, make them both more difficult to use.
I would suggest:
(a) a consistent display order for both areas
(b) a selectable display order:
- in order of use, most recent-first
- in order of use, most recent-last
- in alphabetical order, of file name only (not path)
- in alphabetical order, of file name only (not path), within category (JS, VST, VSTi)
- in alphabetical order, of path/file name
- in alphabetical order, of path/file name, within category (JS, VST, VSTi)
