Reordering the rows in "Actions" tab? Mod Buddy Question

[sudo]

Hi all,

After a quick search, I have been unable to find an answer to this question. I am simply trying to change the order of execution for my database update rows in the "Actions" section (in the properties area).

Currently it is ordered by order of creation. I am attempting to delete the vanilla civs and create my own. However, since I am deleting all existing Civ's in a file that was created later, the translator is creating my new civ's, and THEN deleting all civ's (including the ones I just created). I'm just lazy and do not want to have to retype all those "OnModActivated" rows.

I hope I'm not being dumb and missed something obvious. Thanks for any insight on the matter.

The simplest way to do that would be to rename the file you want to load first, go from FileName.xml too 1FileName.xml then click on the filename column at the top and it should sort the files alphabetically by that column, it will either be first or last, if it's last click the column head again and it will reverse the order. This all assumes everything is in the same folder, if there not in the same folder then use the same instructions but instead of renaming the filename rename the folder.

Thank you, elistor. However, I don't think sorting the rows by clicking the column header changes the execution order of the actions. If you do that, then save and close the tab, then bring it back up again, it goes back to its original order.

What I ended up doing in this instance is simply swapping the two FileName's from one row with the other (in the Actions section). I was just trying to see if there was a feature like in some database software's where you could click n' drag the row up or down to change the "priority". A simple enough fix for now, I just wonder about what may happen when my file numbers begin to increase. Thanks again for your input

Huh, sorry about that I could have sworn mine saved. I'm not at home so i couldn't check and I've not done a mod yet that it was critical for.
