Full Version: Ability to Re-Order Data Sources

I've been hoping for this for a long while now, but now that I've upgraded to v3 and still see the problem, I figured I should make a feature request for it.

Current Issue:
With a growing list of Data Sources, it can get confusing when wanting to just update a specific source.  For example, I recently wanted to pull all my Animated movies out of my general "Movies" folder into a distinct "Animation" folder.  I have many other Data Sources, and now Animation is at the bottom of the list.  In v3, this means I have to scroll down my list of Data Sources every time I want to get to "Animation".  I can provide many other applicable examples, but this is the simplest.

Proposed Solutions:
1. Force Alphabetical order to Data Sources, so there is a consistent order.
2. In the Settings -> (Movies or TV Shows) -> Data Sources section, add arrows for manual re-ordering of Data Sources.
Meanwhile...
- Open tvShows.json or movies.json in <TMM Folder>/data/
- Edit and sort source settings e.g. "tvShowDataSource" as you like

Keep in mind:
- close tmm first
- this source setting is a list, delimitted by ","

Code:

"tvShowDataSource" : [ "Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie" ]

Data source selector will now show this:
Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
Will be added in n v4
