I can't think of a good reason why you would would CHIRP to come up in any order other then the order that the channels are in the radio.
It’s not a matter of wanting it to come up in some other order. It’s wanting to be able to use CHIRP’s sorting features to let you re-order entries prior to programming the radio.
What I believe that you are wanting is to put the sorted order in the channel order and that is very easy to do.
Download from the radio (or load a saved image file) twice.
Or load two copies of a new CSV file that’s never been used to program a radio, I assume.
A user with dozens of repeaters might want them to be programmed into the radio sorted by repeater Name for easy location (clockwise rotation of the ‘channel' knob steps through alphabetically).
Click the Name header of the first tab to sort the column by Name. Click the first memory row with a name to highlight it. Shift-click the last memory row with a name to highlight the rest Right-click any highlighted memory row and choose Copy Right-click the first memory row in the second tab and choose Paste
So the location, although highlighted, doesn’t get copied. I did not know that and I’m sure that others did not either.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
