Bug #681625 “sort template names under File->New->...”:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/681625>
The list of available import/export file types listed in the 'File > Open…' and 'File > Save (as)…' dialogs appears to be sorted first by source (internal, user, shared), then by name. This makes it difficult to determine whether a custom/user input or output extension overrides the default one (defined as internal or shared extension) - determined by the position in the list (AFAICT the first one listed is used if the file type is not explicitly selected or if a file is opened by double-clicking it in the (system) file manager).
Proposed solution: sort the list of all loaded input/output extensions disregarding the source of the extension definition, so that the position in the file type list is determined by its name only.
Variations (possibly useful?):
- add an option to sort the list by file extension instead of file type name
- add an option to sort by 'id' tag as defined in the INX definition file
