Making 'Mass' the default sort order for parts

[Foxster]

I always sort my parts by mass and then choose my parts. Anyone know if I can make this the default everytime I open the the VAB or SPH?

you might be able to, if you find the sort by mass module in the VAB code, you should in theory be able to change the default setting, however I do not know if that would work, and even if it's possible it might break the code, or cause any number of random bugs.

It wouldn't be possible without modifying a few .dll things in there. I've tried it myself, but there is a mod called Simple Part Organizer that can do the job for you.

It is a little outdated, but I'm sure it can still work. If not, just ignore me.

Thanks. That was a good thought. Just tried and it doesn't seem to be working anymore, not been updated for 0.9.

One of my aims for v2 of Filter Extensions is to start messing with the sorting methods, so I guess watch this space.

Malah's Quick mods and Editor Extensions are the only other 0.90 compatible mods that work with basic editor functionality that I know of, neither touches the sorting.

Woah woah! Hold on! How'd I not see this before?
