Would like the ‘Load a Page’ file picker list to be sortable.

Question

Most of my page files correspond to a song and are named with the song title. So, it would be incredibly helpful to have the option to sort the list of files in the ‘Load a Page’ popup alphabetically by filename. Is this doable already or would you please consider adding this feature to an upcoming MDP update? How are they currently sorted by default? Any suggestions for a workaround to getting them in alphabetical order in the meantime?

Comments

Workaround - you can open from the files app, which does allow sorting.  Added to requests backlog.

Answer 1

Use Picker with Named Ticks

It may be possible to use a Picker with named ticks (using song names) that can be sorted in alphabetical order using Excel to sort Edit Text. The GoTo page buttons will be small and hidden. For example, in the image I selected 4 ticks (for 4 pages). The GoTo Page buttons are subcontrols of the Picker and the destination page would correspond to the corresponding Song Title.

I would think the Picker would have to be a Copy (not made similar) on each page. I'm not sure about the GoTo buttons without testing it out. Perhaps they could be copes as well. It's possible the GoTo buttons could be on an unused Bank and/or Page and not on each Page.

It may be possible to add Up/Down stepper buttons to select the Song Page. Coupled with Select Button to select the choice.
