I really appreciate what CHIRP does, use it often and seek only to improve it. No offense intended!
I do understand. I've been a system software developer since 1962 and contributing to the "Open Source" source community since 1992 (e.g. the /BriefCase(tm) revision control & release management toolkit - www.applied-cs-inc.com).
Because options to print, save & upload edited/displayed content are so ubiquitous among editing programs, it seemed inconceivable to me that they were not available in CHIRP.

Dave,
I'm not a Windows user. I'm on a Mac running OS X, a BSD-derived OS with a bash shell. In my case, I was concatenating a distance column with the comment field, pulling columns from two CSV files, with one being a 'CHIRP-spec’ CSV file. So a spreadsheet made sense, not only for the operation, but also for printing the resultant "channel" list.
based on the unhelpful response I got to my last query
Would it be fair to conclude that requests for new features like a built-in print capability and a save/upload sorted capability are unlikely to be implemented?
From your other post:
Obviously…
You're kidding right? Have you actually tried this ... with 28 channels? That is even more tedious than hand sorting 3x5 index cards
Try to keep in mind that CHIRP is an open source project being created by volunteers and provided to us at no cost. And the people taking the time to answer your questions are trying to help you, again without any remuneration.

I thought as much, based on the unhelpful response I got to my last query: "how can I print the entire list of entries" ... "Nope, can't do that. Just do a screen print." Which is just a pain, I suppose, unless you've got more than one screen of entries, then it's a ROYAL PITA!
Regarding save/upload of re-sorted rows, I devised a similar "creative workaround":
1 - export the .img to a .csv 2 - sort by frequency & renumber the rows wit a simple shell script (attached) and save the output in another .csv file 3 - import the new .csv file
To sort by a column other then frequency (column number 3), replace the 3s in *-kn3,3 *in the sort command with the column number by which you want to sort. This may be easier for Linux users that the spreadsheet approach. It would also work in a CYGWIN terminal under windows.

Dave,
I ran into the same problem and I don’t believe that a solution exists yet. There is not a way to sort everything but the memory location numbers, which I believe is what is needed. So you can sort them for display in any way you like (frequency, name, mode, etc.), but the memory location number for each entry will remain the same.
The only way that I was able to work around that was to created a spreadsheet, do the sorting from that, and then export a .csv file. In my case, I wanted the repeaters sorted by order of distance from my home, so lower memory location numbers mean closer repeaters.

After clicking on a column heading to sort the chirp entries, the new
sort order is lost on upload or save.
Please advise how I can save/upload sorted rows.
