Filter rules Sort button isn't working (Betterbird)

[SKelem]

Open Message Filters, pick a filter with names out of order. Press the Sort button. Nothing happens.
In the filter that fails to sort, I have set:
Manually RUn
Getting New Mail: Filter before Junk Classification
Match any of the following:
From, To, CC or Bcc is email1
etc.

quickFilters 6.5.3
Betterbird 128.7.0esr-bb22 (64-bit)

• it works for me, but then I am not using it in Betterbird. I guess it may have to do with the new "mixed operators" feature.

• your filter looks like it is already sorted. can you please export it?
  

• use quickFilters debug mode in quickFIlters and look at the error log, expected output:

quickFilters 11:1:29.860  [5881 ms]

If you do not see any errors / log output with debug enabled, try this test build with additional logging:

• open quickFilters advanced settings
• enable debug mode
• right-click debug mode

• enable extensions.quickfilters.debug.filterEdit = true

• then reset error console and run sort again. Expected output:

Sorry, I forgot to attach the test build, here it is:

quickFilters-wx-6.6pre25.zip

this has the new switch that logs detail when you sort.

---

To try out this version, download the zip file and then drag it into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (without extracting contents)

[RealRaven2000]

So I did a bunch of testing and coding, been at it all day. here is a new version:

quickFilters-wx-6.6pre43.zip

it will only sort contiguous items that on the same group level and that have the same first parameter (e.g. all from all subjects etc)

To try out this version, download the zip file and then drag it into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (without extracting contents)

[RealRaven2000]

Found one more bug when refreshing the filter on startup.

quickFilters-wx-6.6pre48.zip

To try out this version, download the zip file and then drag it into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (without extracting contents)
For extra info in error console enable quickFilters debugging and set extensions.quickfilters.debug.filterEdit = true

Fixed in 6.6 published on 07/03/2025

I installed 6.6pre48, and it's not sorting. The filter is, essentially and(a, or(kickstarter, backerkit))

It starts (and ends) with kickstarter appearing before backerkit.
There's another problem, when I save the filter, it gets saved as and(a, kickstarter, backerkit).
