This mod is not known to work with the latest version of Kerbal Space Program. Proceed with caution.
Believe it or not, this mod was 5 years in the making. I happened to stumble on the solution whilst working on something else!
When you go into the Editor, do you find yourself constantly sorting the parts by something other than the default (and frankly useless) "Sort By Name" setting? Do you, like me, find constantly having to press the "Sort By" option you do want a really tedious and unwelcome affair?
You need a tin of prunes.
PRUNES automatically sorts your parts by the order you want. You can choose your preferred sort option in the Pause -> Settings -> Difficulty Options menu (i.e. where the advanced options are) by moving the slider to choose between Name (the default setting), Mass, Cost or Size. You can also specify whether you want them to be ascending or descending. When you go into the Editor, the parts will be sorted as if someone had pressed the button for you!
The mod sets the default to Sort By Mass/Ascending which seems to be the common request amongst players, although I personally prefer Sort By Size but that's just me.
