Default Correctly alphabetize the plugin names

This is really annoying
when you go to the "add fx" window or your personalized fx folders
it alphabetizes A-Z the names of the VSTs and VST3 separate

it goes
VST:A1
VST:B1
VST:C1
VST3:A2
VST3:B2
VST3:C2

and it is really annoying and it kills my workflow wasting precious time and getting on my nerves.
It should be like this:

VST: A1
VST3:A2
VST: B1
VST3:B2
VST: C1
VST3:C2

(or even better be able to remove the VST/VST3 prefix on every listed fx)

Agreed, as an option.

Weekly bump.

I will never let this FR get forgotten or ignored.

Remove the prefixes or put them in a separate column is the solution and has been a very long standing request: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=39711

The way you describe will only be slightly better because there is no vertical alignment of plugin names; still a problem to scan through them quickly.

Of course, 100% agree
I would also prefer to just delete or hide the prefix but for me personally the main issue is the name alphabetizing more than the screen space wasted or the alignment.

You're welcome to keep bumping, but this tactic has never worked afaik. If that other thread I linked hasn't gotten their attention, I doubt filling this one with empty posts will fare any better. I don't know about anyone else, but the more times I see the same thing, the easier it is to ignore. Just sayin.

The alternative is being quiet and seeing other FR that has been asked many times each year for a decade completely ignored.
