I don't think anyone here, nor BMD engineering, would disagree with you.
That said, software development on a product with as much legacy cross-platform code as Resolve does isn't as simple as it may seem to most end-users. It's probably not a simple, quick "fix" to implement this, as doing so could have negative ramifications on other properly functioning parts of the software (referred to by developers as a "
regression"), if not done carefully.
I'm sure if it was an easy fix, it would have been done long ago. But the fact that it still exists indicates to me that it's not as simple as one would think. BMD is most certainly aware of this complaint, so I doubt they are ignoring it.
I cannot agree, for the most part we are not asking to do 300 lines of code, but one. To make the current list for the timeline, you query the database, you get a list of n items and then you have two choices:
1) present the list as is, FIFO Style
2) do a simple ListOrder() (whatever the function is) and present the same number of element.
make a list at least alphabetically ordered will not break the code, and it a couple of lines at most.
the programmer can fit a million of lines of code for Fusion, they can fit a couple to tidy up the list...
The issue with (non) alphabetical ordered list is widespread in the software....
(alphabetical, alfanumerical, whatever order you want, but not just FIFO)
