From Windows 11 File Explorer (23H2 22635.3640), I opened a preset (70s). FxSound opened to the previous preset and not the preset selected in Windows (no worries, not a goal).

What is noteworthy is the list of available presets - it was limited to the imports found in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FxSound\Presets. When launched this way, the built-in presets were not listed. I found that odd.

I do not have any issues with saving or importing presets. I have a passing interest in modifying the list order in the drop down control. Import/edits are listed alphanumeric sort, built-in are not, and there is a separator.

Is there a method available to modify the list order of presets? What/Where are the two list sources?

Just curious. I really only use two of them.

The factory-loaded Presets are saved in the folder  
C: \> Program Files \> FxSound LLC \> FxSound \> Factsoft  
The additional ones (Bonus & custom) are saved in the hidden folder  
[user account] \> AppData \> Roaming \> FxSound \> Presets

The Bonus Presets were added to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FxSound\Presets This seems to be the same place Custom User Presets reside…therefore hitting the (10) limit, and not allowing me to save more presets. So I tricked FXSound by doing the following: Exit FX Sound completely. Move all Bonus Presets from [%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FxSound\Presets], to [C:\Program Files\FxSound LLC\FxSound\F…
