    Chang List Order of Genre Drop-Down Menu (need non-alphabetical)

    I have learned how to customize the "genres.txt" file in order to have a custom genres drop-down menu in the CD Ripper. However, even though I save the list in the specific order I want (non-alphabetical), when I open the drop-down menu in the program, it automatically re-alphabetizes everything. Is there a way to stop this?

      Thanks for the reply. I thought that would be the answer, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

        I presume the rules are different for numbers then? I have my own genre system, and all of my genres are prefixed with a number. When I hit the drop down menu in CD Ripper, the genres are all in the same order as they are in the txt file (numerical)....

          Even if you have a numerical prefix, the genres will be sorted automatically.

          You can do a test and renumber the first two entries in reversed order.

            You are right, that's exactly what happened! Sorry, I was having a total dumb moment All good for me though as numerical order is what I want anyhow...
