With selective copying, if you have several instances of the same module, the order of the modules is sorted by access in history and not by hierarchical order

Describe the bug

With selective copying, if you have several instances of the same module, the order of the modules is sorted by access in history and not by hierarchical or custom order.

Steps to reproduce

1. Make the changes in the first instance of a module. In this case color balance rgb:

2. Add a new instance and make the change there too. Rename it. Here it is called "blue to cyan":

3. As expected, "blue to cyan" is hierarchically higher than the first instance. We want to keep this order when inserting it into the new photo.

4. We now go back to the first instance and make some additional changes there:

5, We go to the lighttable and select the option "selective copy". Notice how the first instance is now at the top of the list:

6. If we now paste this into the new photo, this order will be copied from the history into the hierarchy, which we do not want. Notice how the "blue to cyan" instance is now lower in the hierarchy than the first instance, which is now also numbered "1":

Expected behavior

The order of the instances should be structured according to the hierarchy and not according to the access time.

I can reproduce :( I hate those issues...

[TurboGit]

As I said I hate those bugs in the history copy. It has been a long time since one was reported and I thought that we were now fully good... You proved me wrong... But not for long, I hat those bugs so I kill them. One less, is that the end of this?

See #16373.

Of course, thanks for reporting and helping us to make dt better every new day.

I hat those bugs so I kill them.

Yes, I understand. Those nasty little critters that spoil one's mood. I was working on a new episode today and then...

One less, is that the end of this?

I'll be sure to light it up for you when I have to lift the carpet again and one crosses my path. They won't be crawling for long. :)

@TurboGit sorry to rain on your parade, but I found another history copy/paste "feature". I just tested #16373 to see if that fixed it, but sadly not. I'll raise another issue.
