Rearranging ship list
How do I rearrange the order of the ships that appear in the ship list when I'm SEXPing?

Re: Rearranging ship list
The ship list is determined by their order in ships.tbl. To alter it, you need to edit ships.tbl.

Unless you are speaking about the ship selection list used when a sexp requires a ship from the mission. In which case they are ordered alphabetically, IIRC.

Actually, that was wrong. In this case, the order is determined by the order in which they are saved in the mission file (Or the order in which they were added).

The second one.

And for me they are listed according to the order in which I placed them.

The only real way to modify the order is to open the missile file in a text editor and cut and paste them around to your liking.

.....waits for Flaming Cobra to return to ask for help with a problem of his own making. :p

Seriously though, are the ships not being in the perfect order in FRED really that much of an issue? I know you can rearrange stuff with cut and paste but that doesn't make it a smart idea when dealing with such a trivial issue.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
