Mod Load Order Sorter [b42]

Description
Mod version for build 41 of Project Zomboid

This mod changes the logic of the automatic sorting of mods added in build 42 of ProjectZomboid.
Now the automatic sorting supports sorting rules, as well as highlights all found violations of the mod loading order.

How to use:
All you need to do is enable this mod and apply the changes. Then activate all the mods you want, go to the mod load order and click the "Sort" button at the bottom of the screen. Apply the changes.
Done!
If necessary, you can manually change the mod load order or set your own rules using the sorting rules editor.

Warning:
Any change in the order of loading mods in the middle of the game can lead to loss of the current save. Do so at your own risk.

Features:
  • Automatic sorting:
    The list of Active mods is pre-sorted alphabetically and also grouped in the following order:
    1. Framework/API/Tweak mods,
    2. Resources/Textures,
    3. Maps/Locations,
    4. Vechicles,
    5. Code-only mods,
    6. Clothing,
    7. Interface,
    8. Other mods,
    9. Localization
    Subsequent application of the topological sorting algorithm can detect and correct incorrect order of mods according to the requirements of each mod.
  • Support for Sorting Rules. Sorting Rules Editor
  • Highlighting mods with detected violations
  • Search by mod name or mod ID
  • Support for multiple file selection to manually edit the order of loading mods.
  • When running the game in debug mode, additional information about the mod on which the mouse cursor is hovered will be displayed.

Disclamer
This mod is not a cure for all conflicts in the order of loading mods. Some conflicts can only be resolved manually.

ATTENTION!!! New update!
1.0.13:
The “tweaks” category has moved to first place in the category sorting order.

Please let me know if this breaks anything.
And remember: updating the mod load order in a midsave can result in lost saves. Do this at your own risk.

New update!
1.0.12:
1) fixed missing sorting rules info if reopen editing mode
2) Circular dependency exception handling: now the exception does not block sorting
3) Fixed incorrect highlighting of incompatible mods under certain conditions. (When an incompatible mod was cached, but after disabling it, the highlighting did not disappear.)

hey, thanks for replying
the maps i'm using are "[B42]Fort Preston" and "Fort Benning B42" only. but i said as an exemple, the other mods are out of order aswell
and with "[B42]Project Cook (New)V1.0" mod i'm having the same issue that @Cyrisa pointed out. because it's no longer ordering, the mod appear in red. this is because it's being loaded before "[B42]NeatUI Framework" that needs to be loaded first, wich would be easy to adjust if it was the only one, but all other mods are a mess too :(
could be another mod interfering? i use lots of mods, so i'm sorry for the trouble if it's not your mod that's causing this

Please provide the name of the map mod you're referring to in the example, which loads last.

Please make sure you haven't added any custom sorting rules for mods that load in the wrong order.
P.S. I've checked locally, and the load order is as expected.

perhaps a sorting rule broke. placed the error in bug reports.
Cyrisa 28 Sep @ 12:24pm 
seems 42.12 may have broken this mod? it no longer sorts when I press the button and presents a red letter after pressing sort.

very good mod, but after last patch stoped ordering mods in the order at the description for me. it's loading map mods for last, for exemple. can you tell why?

@Luciphim
Yes, updating the mod load order in a mid-save can result in losing that save (in the worst case). In any case, I recommend backing up the save and mod load order (using presets in the mod menu) before changing the order. Or try doing it on a new save and see what changes.

I have a lot of mods installed, most of which are for QoL, UI, and items. What happens if I change the load order mid save? does it wreck the save file?

Yes
