Having trouble with sorting of traits

[Janz]

I hope someone can assist me in finding out how to get these traits sorted in categories. Hero lab is mixing it up custom categories, so the 'label' traits are at the top and then comes all the other traits mixed up. If I move a trait to one of the existing categories (like 'Campaign') it displays under the correct category in the character editor.

Here is a sample that should display the problem:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Data">
<thing id="trdd1" name="Test Category 1 Header" compset="Trait" isshowonly="yes">
<usesource source="Test" parent="UserParent" name="Test"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="ShowSpec"/>
<tag group="ProductId" tag="HLCommunit"/>
<tag group="trCategory" tag="Test1" name="Test Category 1" abbrev="Test Category 1"/>
</thing>
<thing id="trTest1" name="Test trait 1" compset="Trait">
<usesource source="Test" parent="UserParent" name="Test"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="ShowSpec"/>
<tag group="ProductId" tag="HLCommunit"/>
<tag group="trCategory" tag="Test1" name="Test Category 1" abbrev="Test Category 1"/>
</thing>
<thing id="trhd2" name="Test Category 2 Header" compset="Trait" isshowonly="yes">
<usesource source="Test" parent="UserParent" name="Test"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="ShowSpec"/>
<tag group="ProductId" tag="HLCommunit"/>
<tag group="trCategory" tag="Test2" name="Test Category 2" abbrev="Test Category 2"/>
</thing>
<thing id="trTest2" name="Test trait 2" compset="Trait">
<usesource source="Test" parent="UserParent" name="Test"/>
<tag group="trCategory" tag="Test2" name="Test Category 2" abbrev="Test Category 2"/>
<tag group="ProductId" tag="HLCommunit"/>
<tag group="Helper" tag="ShowSpec"/>
</thing>
</document>

Assigning a proper sort order for new trait categories is not an option that is available to users.

That would explain why my custom traits don't sort correctly.

Feature request, can we get this implemented please?

Yea I asked months ago when I found this for the new "Crime" traits you did for WotW. It was looked into and its not something that is going to be any time soon I would expect.

By the way this holds for ALL categories like Gear, Magic Items, and feats. The only one currently can be done by users is the Archetypes. You just have to do a little work in the RAW XML but its pretty easy. HERE is the post where Mathias gave it to me for the Mythic stuff.
