Sorting in chooser lists by separators

[Gumbytie]

New game system, working from sample game.

Gear, Weapons, Flaws, and others should be 'sorting' in the pop-up for choosers under appropriate separators but no dice. For the life of me I cannot figure out what I am missing.

Will use Flaws as an example.

In the chooser I expect something like this (just a few examples):

- Mental -
Addiction
Obsession
- Physical -
Lame
Mute
etc.

What I see:
- Mental -
- Physical -
Addiction
Obsession
Lame
Mute
etc.

I have managed to find two files I need to edit as well as the file for the flaws. Maybe I am missing one?

control.1st

  <!-- Define a sortset for showing all Flaws by type -->
  <sortset
    id="Flaw"
    name="Flaws By Type and Name">
    <sortkey isfield="no" id="FlawType"/>
    <sortkey isfield="no" id="_Name_"/>
    </sortset>

tags.1st

  <!-- FlawType group - type of a flaw
  -->
  <group
    id="FlawType"
    dynamic="yes">
    <value id="Custom" name=" Custom"/>
    <value id="Physical"/>
    <value id="Mental"/>
    <value id="Social"/>
    <value id="Misc" name="Miscellaneous"/>
    </group>

things_flaws.dat

  <!-- Separator Flaws -->
  <thing
    id="flSepPhys"
    name="– Physical –"
    compset="Flaw"
    isshowonly="yes"
    description="">
    <tag group="FlawType" tag="Physical"/>
    </thing>

  <thing
    id="flSepMent"
    name="– Mental –"
    compset="Flaw"
    isshowonly="yes"
    description="">
    <tag group="FlawType" tag="Mental"/>
    </thing>

A flaw from things_flaws.dat:

  <!-- Blind Flaw -->
  <thing
    id="flBlind"
    name="Blind"
    compset="Flaw"
    isunique="yes"
    description="Automatically fails sight rolls.">
    <tag group="FlawType" tag="Physical"/>
    </thing>

Again, this is happening on everything: Weapons, Gear, etc.

I am frustrated and stuck, need help I have also compared this to Savage Worlds (Edges, Gear, etc.) and looking side-by-side in the same files, my syntax looks the same aside from different names. Which is why I am wondering if I am missing one more file somewhere I need to edit?

Cheers,
Gumbytie

Not being a Hero Lab or Author Kit user (yet), but knowing XML - I just want to point out that there is no field order in XML files unless you impose one, so it looks like it has a default of alphabetic sort by name and its sorting your things in with your flaws.
