Version: 0.19+ #3129 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux for an extensive end user of auto-replace features in chat clients, can attest to the significant inherent value of having the ability with this component to sort the list after new edits/additions. with significant growth of said list it becomes more and more impractical to manage for many different reasons; not the least of which includes recalling chosen AR spellings and more. [xchat actually referred to and/or encouraged a sorted AR list claiming it made xchat's AR more efficient/faster.]
The reason why we don't currently: The sequence in the auto-replace list has meaning. If you set up a replace that puts 'b' in place of 'a', and 'c' in place of 'b', and they're in that order in the list, typing 'a' will get you a 'c'. This can be used to set up some pretty nifty things.
