G-code file sequence on SD-card has changed

Since the last update the file sequence on my SD-card has changed to, in my opinion, not logical.
Normally the newest file was positioned in the first row, so fast and easy to find in the printer LCD menu.
After the latest update this has changed to a random sequence it seems.
Is this something I can tackle myself in the Slic3r software?

Re: G-code file sequence on SD-card has changed

there is an option in the LCD menu, to revise the sequence.

not at my printer at the moment, so can't check which menu choice. would expect settings.... it's at the bottom.

There are options in the menu to sort the SD card contents by date, name and no sort. It sometimes gets confused, but backing up a level and going back into the print from SD option usually sorts it out.

The default sort order on my MK3 was by name. I changed it to date and it is much easier to find the file I am interested in printing.

The last option in the settings menu lets you select sort order of time, alphabet, or none.
