<ul></ul><p>When doing so, I think it would be best to alphabetize by file extension rather than name of file, but still provide the description of the file type before the file extsion. For example:</p>
<p>SDTS Raster (*.ddf *.DDF)</p>
<p><a class="wiki-page new" href="https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/wiki/MrSID">MrSID</a> JPEG2000 (*.jp2 *.j2k *.JP2 *.J2K)</p>
<p><a class="wiki-page new" href="https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/wiki/GeoTIFF">GeoTIFF</a> (*,tif, *.TIF)</p>
<p>And so forth.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #1539: Alphabetize "Files of type" drop down optionshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1539?journal_id=186102010-06-11T20:39:16ZPaolo Cavallinicavallini@faunalia.it
<ul></ul><p>However, another view is that more popular types should stay on top</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #1539: Alphabetize "Files of type" drop down optionshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1539?journal_id=186112010-07-08T04:46:54ZCharles Timko -charles.timko@hotmail.com
<ul></ul><p>So then, 3 different orders...Sort by File Extension, File Type Name, or Popular?</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #1539: Alphabetize "Files of type" drop down optionshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1539?journal_id=275152011-12-16T12:58:37ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<ul></ul><p>I think its more natural as user experience for you to look the alphabetical order of the first item of the list, in this case since you have the file name it should be order by it. If you happen to use on type of files more frequently than others than it wouldn't really matter as the file add dialog remembers your last choice and if you need to change your choice it just feels faster to look at an alphabetical ordered list.</p>
<p>Something similar to what Gimp open image menu, maybe even add an additional all vector files that would encompass all supported OGR formats</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #1539: Alphabetize "Files of type" drop down optionshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1539?journal_id=509702014-05-21T08:59:11ZAntonio Locandroantonio.locandro@cocesna.org
