Some of you may have realized this when you backed up your presets before an upgrade, but here is a way to organize the presets. At least alphabetically,,,,
Close VT.
Navigate to your user tool shed directory.
Rename them all with common descriptive words in front ie.
Audio_Slow Fade 40 frames
Audio_-6 db
Color_Fade to BW 10 frames
Color_ALL BW
PIP_Right Corner
PIP_Center
Layer Settings_LOW
Layer Settings_High and ISS
Move_Drop front 15 frames Promo Oct 05
Move_Spin In 6_25_04
Crop_DVD safe area
etc
Now remove them from that directory and store them somewhere else.
Reopen VT, toolshed should be empty.
Close VT.
Move presets back to their original directory.
Reopen VT.
Presets are now arranged alphabetically
This at least keeps them grouped alphabetically, and according to their basic functions.
Better than nothing.
