Mod Manager: Load Order Sorter

Description
Do you like to play Project Zomboid with mods, but don't want to spend time sorting the order of mods manually? Then ModManager: Load Order Sorter mod will help you!
All you need to do is enable the mod, go to the mods load order and click on the “Sort” button at the bottom of the screen.
PROFIT!

Warning:
Any change to the mod loading order in midgame may result in loss of your current save. Do this at your own risk.

Features:
  • The list of Active Mods is pre-sorted alphabetically and grouped in the following order:
    1. Resources/Textures,
    2. Maps/Locations,
    3. Transportation,
    4. Framework/API/Tweak mods,
    5. Code-only mods,
    6. Clothing,
    7. Interface,
    8. Other mods,
    9. Localization
  • Subsequent application of topological sorting algorithm allows to detect and correct wrong order of mods according to the requirements of each mod.
  • Support for sorting rules allows more flexible sorting of mods.
  • Support for Mod Manager: Server.
    If Mod Manager: Server is activated - a button will be added to copy the list of currently active mods to the server's mods list, which makes it easier to update the mod collection on the server, as well as the ability to enable mods from the server profile on the client.

This mod is not intended for customizing a dedicated server

Compatibility
Mod Manager: Server
Mod Manager: Enhanced Load Order
Mod Manager: Load From Collection

Note: This mod is created as an add-on for ModManager mod by NoctisFalco and does not change the behavior of the original mod in any way, but only supplements it for more convenient work with ModManager

not sure if this makes sense, since build 42 already has its own mod sorting algorithm (not sure how well it works).
but anyway, my mod requires updating the dependent mod "ModManager" by NoctisFalco

will this be updated for B42?

Can't see the main menu after installing it, any help?

in the main menu, go to mods.
enable mods: "mod manager" and "mod manager: load order sorter" and apply changes. You will be returned to the main menu.
go to mods again, the mods window should change, go to the mod loading order and check if the "sort" button appears at the bottom of the window. if not, then move "mod manager: load order sorter" to the bottom of the list, then apply changes and check again.

I've subscribed Mod Manager: Load Order Sorter in Steam workshop.
But I can't see this mod in a game :(
Anyone some ideas why?

@Noreen_Allen
Thanks for the feedback.
can you tell me your list of mods with localization that were not placed at the bottom of the mod loading list?
perhaps there is a problem with determining the category specifically for your localization mods, since I have it provided that mods with translation should be placed at the bottom of the mod loading list
Noreen_Allen 8 Dec, 2024 @ 4:15am 
Very good, thanks a lot. Previously there were 6 errors with manual sorting, now there is only an amazing 1. Personally, I feel the shortcoming is that you can't put the localization class at the bottom, as this class usually has to be at the bottom for it to work correctly
REfRigERatoR  [author] 2 Dec, 2024 @ 12:16am 
ok, that's another matter.
My mod helps in sorting mods with dependencies, and also groups them by categories.
In your case, you want to sort a collection of maps, and probably the correct order of these maps is described somewhere in plain text. My mod will not be able to organize suchload order.
Either explicit dependencies or sorting rules are needed.

forgot to include that i literally loaded a new server using the sort button, big fat error message, other attempts led to crashes

changing mod load order in midgame is ALWAYS A BAD IDEA. I've written about this in the comments many times, but thanks to you I'll add it to the description, thanks.
