Custom keywords order

[Banta]

After last update (1.9.4) keywords assigned to images in unclear order. Previously, it was possible to use the ordered arrangement of keywords in the TAGS table of the XNVies.db file to assign them conveniently to image files. As example
D; E; A|F; Y; B
where keywords in TAGS was listed like

H
D
iik
E
A
Y
B
F (parent A)
...
So now they assigned neither alphabetically nor according to the ordinal number in the table - F; Y; B; E; A; D or somthg. Is there a trick to get the old functionality back? Well, except for rolling back to the old version

ps. categories order in the app is and always must be alphabetical

bot no changes in TAGS table

5.jpg (119.06 KiB) Viewed 155 times

so in explorer keywords with new order too (maybe inversed but not 100% sure)

child category XX last in table, but first in order AND separated from its parent
Is this a bug, or is it supposed to be like this?

database has nothing to do with the order in which data is written to the file

you can request 'Write Keywords in alphabetic order' feature
which on write event will read all keywords(existing+new), sort them, and write in order(one-by-one?)

As you can see XMP tags are recorded strictly in the order they appear in the database - see screenshots previous posts. At least prior 1.9.4.
