Re: [Gmod-ajax] Control Ordering of Categories in Left-hand Panel?

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

There is no way to provide a custom sort function currently but you can
specify "trackSelector.sortHierarchical=false" and then the sorting will be
basically in whichever order the tracks are loaded as. If that does not
satisfy the issue, as in maybe you do need a custom sorter besides "no
sorting", feel free to make a github issue

In jbrowse.conf that might look like

[trackSelector]
sortHierarchical=false


Or in trackList.json

"trackSelector": {
    "sortHierarchical": false
}
