I just bought/downloaded a bunch of RE's from the shop and you'd think when reason notifies you to open their companion software that it would allow you to sort the RE's in various ways. One useful format would be to sort by recently purchased so I don't have to arbitrarily go through the whole list to find the newly purchased downloads.

There is what seems to be a bug, that when choosing to open Companion from the shop, it opens with the REs only alphabetical (and not listing available to install/update at the top). I had reported this.

Quit Companion and reopen it. REs that are available to install or have updates available should be at the top of the list.

Mine always show in alphabetical order. I usually end up searching by dev using the search box. Alternatively I go in on devices on my account just to remind myself what I have.

You should report that. I've only seen the bug when opening Companion from the shop. Otherwise it always lists REs available to install at the top of the list...at least it does for me.

This is my experience as well. Did not think it was a bug just bad design, but can report it when I get home.

You don't even have to reopen Companion to get it to sort correctly. Just press on the refill tab and then go back to REs and it will have the uninstalled back at the top.

Hmm. Might be because I have very few REs installed so the installed ones are showing at the end. In any case, they’re in alphabetical order.

Yeah mine are in alphabetical order, with available installs/updates prioritized to the top.

Thanks for the tip :thumbup:

I feel like I tried flipping between Sound Packs and Devices, but not sure now.
