Sort Order

The way sort order works for these presets in Lightroom is a bit wonky, probably because it's a hidden, unsupported feature of these custom templates, which themselves are a hidden, unsupported feature of Lightroom. I suspect that support for a preset sort order exists merely to get “Default” at the top of the list of standard presets.

Anyway, here are the sorting rules:

  1. All custom presets with a sort order other than “Alphabetic by Title” appear at the top of the list, above “Default,” in the order specified. (If two or more custom presets have the same sort order, they are alphabetized in a case-sensitive manner: uppercase before lowercase)

  2. Then comes “Default”

  3. Finally, all “Alphabetic by Title,” custom presets appear mixed in with the other standard presets, alphabetized in a case-sensitive manner.
