Install order bug

[NoCrazyShet]

Vortex Version 0.13.3
Windows 10 professional 64-bit

I was modding Skyrim SE and had to restart my pc. Upon relaunch of Vortex my install order numbers were not populated. Once I used one of the workarounds found on the net my install order numbers repopulated, but according to alphabetical naming of mods, not in actual install order. I was luckily at early stages of modding, so I could recreate it and have included screenshots before reset, during no population and after install order was repopulated. Also included Vortex.log.

Keep up the good work, so far I am loving Vortex!

As far as I can tell there is only one rule set up, correct? Could you show me that rule?

[NoCrazyShet]

I will as soon as I get near my desktop.

[NoCrazyShet]

This is the rule, sorry for the delay.

In this latest screenshot the one rule that exists is fulfilled.
Is this problem still relevant in 0.15.6? There were a few changes to how mod sorting works and when it's updated

[NoCrazyShet]

Sorry for the delayed reply! The problem still seems to persist, I just installed a few random mods for fallout 4 to test.

This is the install order before restarting Vortex

This is the install order after restarting Vortex

For whatever reason the install order resets to alphabetical order unless dependencies are declared, which is fair enough. However it creates a lot of extra processes to complete for a stable mod setup.
I will try to delete Vortex and clean all of its' files and retry a bit later today. Maybe I just have a botched update?

[NoCrazyShet]

Hi again! I reinstalled Vortex and ensured I had the newest available version from Nexus. Now the install order is persistent even after restarting the program - regardless of if dependencies are set or not.
Great work!

After a second reset the install order has once again reverted to going by alphabetical, so for now I guess it's manual declarations of dependencies.

In the latest set of screenshots there are no rules and no conflicts between the mods so the install order doesn't matter.
If you have a mod with files "a.dds" and "c.dds" and another mod with "b.dds" and "d.dds" it doesn't matter which you install first and second, you always get the same output of "a.dds, b.dds, c.dds, d.dds"
