Library Not Appearing in Alphabetical Order in "Import Library" Menu

[SableRaf]

Description

While following the Getting Started tutorial, I noticed that the example library A Template Example Library does not appear in alphabetical order in the Sketch > Import Library... menu in Processing 4.

Processing version

4.4.0

Operating System

macOS 13.4

Expected Behavior

The library should be listed in alphabetical order among other contributed libraries.

Actual Behavior

The library appears out of order, making it harder to find, especially if there are a lot of other libraries installed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Follow the Getting Started guide to create a new library using the template.
2. Run the deployToProcessingSketchbook Gradle task to install the example library.
3. Open Processing and navigate to Sketch > Import Library....
4. Observe that "A Template Example Library" is not sorted alphabetically with other contributed libraries.

Hmm, I wonder what the order of the listed libraries is dependent on then. Could it be the library short name, meaning, the name of the folder containing the library?

[SableRaf]

Thanks @mingness! Looks like that was it.

I see two possible ways to address this:

1. Update library.properties to change the long name from A Template Example Library to My Template Example Library, so it sorts more intuitively.

2. Alternatively, we could look into modifying how libraries are ordered in the PDE (cc @Stefterv), and use the library's name property rather than the folder name for sorting.

On second thought, I think option 2 (sorting libraries by name) is the better approach. @Stefterv does it make sense from a technical point of view?

[Stefterv]

Just took a quick look, the order of the libraries defined well before this tree view is generated. I'd prefer to fix this when we create a new examples frame

Oh... speaking of second thoughts

Nice! How did you fix it?
