New update!
Added new parameters to the sorting rules editor: LoadFirst, LoadLast and Category.

awesome, thank you (accidentally deleted original comment, new set up xd)

@chuckleberrypi
now there is no way to change the category manually, but this is a great idea for improvement! maybe I will implement it)

@Liarzax
You are absolutely right, mod authors should initially set up the dependencies for their mods correctly.
At the moment there is no other way to save and load the order of mods other than sorting rules.

unfortunately this relies on the correct dependencies being configured, what about options to export/save and import/load mod order for those of us that tweak it manually?

@Proximitive
all mods that are specified as required for another mod will be placed above this mod.
perhaps in terms of tiles and maps this may not play any role (I have not personally checked), but for scripts it is important.

should tiles really be above map mods? I saw somewhere that tiles should be below like this

Tikitown
Drazion's Tilepack
Erika's TIles

@Toto
Your pleasure)
Read the "Sorting Rules" discussion:
Zomboid\Lua\sorting_rules.txt

where i can change manually the mod order , wath location and name of the file to change Manually , thanks for the mod

@SuperSeba
I checked, on version 42.11 the mod works correctly. Try to leave only this one mod enabled and check if anything has changed (the most obvious change is the mod search field at the top of the mod sorting order window). If this does not work, then try to check the integrity of the game files via Steam

You are a saint. You have saved me so much time.

@Paulownia
All you need to do is enable this mod, go to the mod loading order and click the "Sort" button at the bottom of the screen.
Done!
If necessary, you can manually change the mod loading order or set your own sorting rules using the sorting rules editor

사용 방법좀 알려주실 수 있나요? 모드는 150개인데 어떻게 해야할지 모르겠습니다

You are awesome! o7

Ty! <3

Thanks!

@ezeepeezee
you are right! Fixed!

Is it just me, or did the automatic scrolling stop working with this update?

I know it was a few updates ago but "added automatic scrolling of the mods list when dragging outside the mods window" or similar was a much needed feature for my QoL, thanks so much for this option! Is there any way in-game or via a mod like this to see the total number of enabled mods? Maybe I've just blindly missed it somewhere.

I have a small request — could you please provide the text for the right-side extended settings, specifically the options under "Apply"? It would really help with localization.

As far as I remember (if I’m not mistaken from when I checked in April), the mod doesn’t include those texts for translation.

It would be great if you could provide them so we can properly localize that part too.

@SJZ-BB-LONG
please share the error message in the "bug reports" discussion

点击加载顺序就报错了 什么也不显示

Thank you so much for the auto scroll when dragging update! My tendons are in debt

@Joewlpc
I didn't quite understand your request. Do you want the mod's description to be displayed in the tooltip?

can I request a translation of the in-game description to be added below the slavic text

New update:
added automatic scrolling of the mods list when dragging outside the mods window

При создании новой игры автоматически должны подтягиваться уже активированные моды. Убедитесь, что вы применяете изменения, которые вы делаете в меню модов.
Так же в меню модов уже есть возможность создания пресетов (рядом с кнопкой "назад"). Просто включите нужные вам моды и нажмите кнопку сохранить, дайте любое имя и в выпадающем списке вы сможете выбирать ваш список модов

Спасибо! это очень важный мод) Наверное лучший! но меня каждый раз УБИВАЕТ отсутствие сохраненного СПИСКА - я настраиваю моды в разделе Моды - на главной странице игры, потом я настраиваю моды в разделе НОВОЙ игры и они (ругаюсь!) часто не совпадают, так как я ошибаюсь! можно сделать сохранение списков с несколькими вариантами чтобы их быстро выбрать ?)))

no problem :)

Wow. First off, thanks for the lighting fast reply. second thanks for making me remember to check if I am even playing b42 or not.

Turns out from default the game is on b41 stable. Little did I know the recent update is b42 unstable, not b42 stable. I having been downloading b42 mods and wondering why some don't work. Now I feel stupid. lol

@TDiggityDogg
please make sure you are subscribing to the correct version of the mod.
in the main menu of the game at the bottom is written the version of the game.
This version of the mod is only for version b42
for version 41 of the game use the mod of the corresponding version https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3180893708

New to the game, not sure if i am missing something here but I dont see it in my mod list.

maybe its because Steam workshop does not download directly to my games 'real mod folder'. So I need to copy the 'ModLoadOrderSorter_b42' from the steam workshop folder into my Project Zomboid mod folder found in my 'Users' folder.

Every other mod I did this with finally showed up besides this one

I asked because some modes didn't work when I pressed "auto" like before. I rearranged them myself and it worked.

for testing purposes yes, but in general no. so if you wanted to ask for my sorting rules, then I have nothing to share with you

Have you changed your sorting rules recently?

The sorting_rules file stores only custom rules and will be empty if you have not added your own rules.

sorting_rules file has no contents.

@Ryan
Please read pinned "Sorting rules" discussion

where is the rules file saved?

僵尸项目41版本的Mod版本

这个mod改变了ProjectZomboid的build 42中添加的mod自动排序的逻辑。
现在自动排序支持排序规则，以及突出显示所有发现的违反mod加载顺序的情况。
警告:
在游戏进行到一半时，任何载入mods的顺序改变都会导致当前保存的丢失。这样做风险自担。
特点:
自动排序:
激活模块列表按字母顺序预先排序，并按以下顺序分组:
资源/纹理，
地图/位置，
车辆，
框架/API/Tweak模块，
只有代码的模块，
服装，
界面，
其他mod，
本地化
拓扑排序算法的后续应用可以根据每个mod的要求检测和纠正mod的错误顺序。
支持排序规则。排序规则编辑器
突出显示检测到违规的mod
按模块名称或模块ID搜索
支持多文件选择来手动编辑加载mods的顺序。
当在调试模式下运行游戏时，会显示鼠标光标所在的模式的附加信息。

It is possible to delete only those rules that were added manually (using the sorting rules editor panel). The rules that were added by the mod developer can only be changed by the developer himself.

hi, its possible remove a rule?

세이브 파일에서 모드 순서를 수정할려고 버튼을 누르면 게임이 멈춤

ahh! i see okay
i thought B42 was the default version of the game for now. my friends and i just started playing yesterday and just added mods today.

i switched to b42 and yes now everything is showing correctly, though now no multiplayer xD so back to b41. unfortunateeeee

@marshmallow justice
First of all, make sure you actually have build 42 of the game (you can see the version of the game in the main menu on the bottom right).
If everything is fine, try unsubscribing and re-subscribing the mod you can't see and restart the game.
As a last resort, check the integrity of the files.

this mod and some others dont seem to show up in main menu -> mods list ... just started adding some mods to zomboid after getting back into b42, am i doing smth wrong?

Amazing stuff! Modders are so talented holy f

Perhaps the author of `Birgets bodies for Dynamic body shape` forgot to specify the dependency on `Dynamic body shape` in the mod.info file.

I know of one issue where there IS a violation not picked up. 'Dynamic body shape' mod MUST load Before 'Birgets bodies for Dynamic body shape' and I had to move them manually In fact there is a whoie set of birget mods related to this and some of them are seperated

then no violations were found. or the mod is not activated
