Sorting flashcard categories e.g. when creating a new card

[many]

Hi. From Organise, I can sort the flashcard categories by e.g. name. But when I add a new card from the dictionary, or if I 'Add to category' from a card info screen, then my flashcard categories seem to appear in a random order? Perhaps not random, but not the alphatbetical order that I might prefer. Ideally, I would like to organise my flashcard cagetories in a preferred way, with my most commonly used categories at the top of the list, similar how you can reorder some other things in Pleco (e.g. the order that Test Profiles appear). Is that possible now via a setting, or is it a possible future feature? Motivation: I have more flashcard categories than fit on the screen of my iPhone 13 mini, and often have to scroll down to find the 2-3 that I most commonly use (i.e. when I am creating a new card, or adding a category to an old card). Well, well, this is of course a very tiny matter!

(Just to add, when I first started using the Pleco 4 beta 12 months ago, I mainly stuck with my legacy flashcard profile from a successful transfer from Pleco 3 to 4. However, in the past couple of months, I’ve been experimenting much more with new profiles, drill, learning, etc. and have been loving it. I have found Pleco 4’s new systems quite motivating, helping me with new enthusiasm for learning new words and characters, all really smooth and friendly and working wonderfully well. Happy user indeed.)

Thanks!

If you click on 'apply sort to categories', that will make the name sort apply everywhere rather than just in Organize. (and after that you can reorder them however you like)

Ah, of course, I see that now, oops. Thanks.
