Part placement in Control

[Gary_P]

What determines the order of the parts in the UI tabs?

I loaded a mod that is made up of parts and I'd like to have it last or on the second page.

Any way to do that?

They are ordered "By the Directory Tree."

***NOT WHAT YOU HAVE***

\GameData\Parts\Aero\a_Engine\SQUAD\JetEngine

\GameData\Parts\Aero\a_Engine\SQUAD\turboFanEngine

\GameData\Parts\Aero\b_Air Intakes\SQUAD\ramAirIntake

Aero, being an "A" will load before anything else in the Parts directory

"a_Engine" will load before "b_Air Intakes"

JetEngine, being a "J" which comes before "T" alphabetically loads first.

There are two mods:

I'm uncertain of their current development (I mean, I already did what I did so I'll let them develop in peace until 0.21)

I think It's determined by either the Author, or the Directory. I'm not sure though. If this is the case you'd have to replace the author field in every part. (which is easily done in Notepad ++)

Edit: Disregard my advice.

I was doing some testing this morning. The parts I questioned about were NFJ's Truss system.

Fel is correct. I was able to shift his parts to the end just by renaming his main folder from NFJ to ZNFJ.

All is well in my world.

Thanks for the help and I hope this helps others.
