Rearranging plugins in the Aroma System Menu

[Technician]

Hey everybody, is there a way to change the order of the plugins in the Aroma System Menu? I'm on version 0.3.5 and didn't see a possibility to change them. They are sorted alphabetically, so if I want to use the skylanders portal emulation plugin re_nsyshid, then I have to go all the way down to R instead of having this plugin as the first option like I want it to be. I know you can press up on the dpad to go backwards, but it's still many button presses to get there. I was thinking to rename the plugin via Wii U Shell, but I think it will not function correctly if I put a zero infront of the name. I also know about the possibility to toggle the unnecessary plugins off, but this is also not a good solution because I use some of them often. So has anybody figured it out? I saw a youtube video made by Gary, where he had the plugin re_nfpii on the pole position, but his aroma environment was on the version 0.2.6 or something. Was this maybe changed with a new update to an alphabetical order? Thanks in advance

Sorting would be a very nice feature. Anyway, left/right on the D-pad to scroll faster may help a bit if you have a lot of plugins, but I think it would be awesome if we could actually tap on the touchscreen since the navigation is really slow otherwise.

I tried to rename the plugins with wii u shell, but that didn't work. Next thought was to open the wps files with a tool and search for the title tag, but this might be a copyright related thing. I don't want to mess around with that. So maybe this is just something for Maschell to integrate in the next aroma update? Yeah the dpad right button lets you jump directly to the buttom, so it's just three more taps for me. Better than nothing of course. I don't know if a touchpad function would be possible. Did you read on his discord that he is working on the feature? Would be great indeed

I don't know if it's something he's working on, it just came to my mind, it seems like an obvious qol for a device with a touchpad. If for some reason it's not possible, then pressing and holding on the Dpad for autoscrolling would improve the menu a lot.

Yesterday I installed the new re_nsyshid plugin to finally play Diseny Infinity and I was thinking exactly the same!

Changes we need in the Plugins Menus:
1) Rearrange the plugins (may be simply sorted by most used, or mark the favorites)
2) Fast scrolling like "Page Down/up" or a vertical navigation bar. This is important when you must navigate through several files like nfc tags (there are hundreds of files)

I think this is a good idea to mark plugins as favourites. @Maschell are those changes possible for the Wii U Plugin System Menu? Thanks in advance

That would be really useful and way easier to navigate.
