The list of wcx names in the packer drop-down list box in the packer dialog box should be sorted

[Li Yongzhen]

When compressing a document, the name of wcx in the packer drop-down list box on the right side of the Pack Files Dialog Box is disordered, which makes it very inconvenient to search for it, and it should be arranged in ascending alphabetical order.

Well, an option to sort this list alphabetically could be helpful, but IMO TC shouldn't sort it no matter what. Some users like to have this list sorted by priority or some other criteria. I, for one, like to have things sorted by importance and grouped together by plugin handling these archives. Example: bz2 and tar.bz2 are handled by the same plugin so they should be shown one after another.

Anyway, if it's that important to have this list sorted alphabetically, you can do it yourself by sorting the keys in the [PackerPlugins] section in wincmd.ini accordingly.

No, there's no need to add any sort there. The list shows and helps to remember plugin's priortiy. Any kind of changes there will break this simple thing.

No, there's no need to add any sort there...

You think there's no need, the OP thinks there's one there.
I might suggest why not to put there a kind of a switch to sort things alphabetically or by priority upon the user choice.

Well. It could be switchable, if developer would like to introduce that. And it should be NOT enabled by default. That's what I mean.
