Dump DMX: Channels in silly order...

Hello,
when I try to dump DMX values for a fixture, the order of channels in the dump list is 1,10,11,12...18,19,2,20...24,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (see attached picture). I tried to add a leading Zero to the channel Numbers in the fixture definition Program, but it would not allow it. How can I avoid this behaviour?
It happens equally in QLC+ 4.12.2 for Mac AND Windows...
This means: Can I have the channels in ascending order from 1 to 24 ?


Thanks in Advance
Dirk

I found out, even when I edit the fixture file with a text editor to add leading zeroes to the one-digit numbers, they are removed again when I dump DMX settings.
Is it just me or has really nobody else ever been annoyed by this odd behaviour?

It only 'helps' you with sorting.
How many fixtures should be included? You talk about 1-24... others use 16 universes with 512 channels having like 2730 fixtures, so they would require 3 leading zeros.

I have fixed it upstream.
Will be available with the next version

Yes, sorting was the only problem. I never thought about more than 100 DMX-Channels per fixture, that would require more than one leading zero...
I am glad things "got sorted out"(pun intended)
Thank You A LOT!
