Where are the sorted Parts

[Crzyrndm]

For Filter Extensions v2.0 I wanted to add the capability to redefine the sorting methods used in the parts list.

I've got as far as calling my own function when the sort buttons are pressed, but I've hit a slight snag. I don't know where the collection of parts to be sorted is kept. It used to be the order in PartLoader.Instance.Parts IIRC, but that isn't being changed by the stock sorting methods. Category/subCategory.available parts is a null List.

Any ideas as to where the sorted parts are being read from?

I don't think it keeps a sorted list, I'm fairly sure it applies the sorting predicate on the PartLoader list and drops that in the editor.

I stumbled onto that a few hours back when I found the EditorPartsList.Refresh method was overloaded with an IComparer<AvailablePart> which is, I am assuming for lack of an alternative, how the sorting is being done.

Still haven't got it working but I can't see any other way in

E:

Any ideas why this isn't working (other than that I'm totally barking up the wrong tree). The log entry for the sort call comes through fine, but the refresh either does nothing or silently fails
