Weird new thing happening in Vestige on my Win XP machine

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
I still use LMMS all the time on this old computer, in addition to the new machine. This new bad thing suddenly started happening in Vestige (in all 3 versions of LMMS which I use: 1.0.3, 1.1.0, and 1.1.3). I've made no changes to anything. On the Vestige GUI, when I click the little green folder-icon to "open other vst plugin", it goes to the vst folder on my computer, as usual, but it now shows all the plugins in reverse order, from Z-A, instead of A-Z. It has been doing that for 3 days. I do a total shutdown of my machines every night, and see the same thing, each day for 3 days now. See image:

Has anybody else ever seen anything like this? It's not a disastrous thing --- it's just very weird and inconvenient, and adds a bizarre inefficiency to my workflow. Anybody with an idea how I can restore it to normal?

I wonder if its not just a windows setting ?

Try : Click in the top-bar, that inverse the sort-order, afair also in 1.1
In 1.2.0 there is even an option for sorting LMMS/ LADSPA/ VST
click in what top bar?

try click where it says 'Name'
What are you looking at, musikbear?
I'm looking at LMMS.
There's nothing that says "name".

Also, I now see this problem is not just with Vestige. The same thing is happening with every LMMS dialog box: Save As, Import, Export, and Export Tracks --- every one of them is now ordered in reverse, Z-A.

Here are images of the reversed-order "Export" and "Save As" Dialog Boxes:

(Unfortunately, the insert image function on this page still doesn't work for me, so you have to click on the links above, if you want to see the images.)

This is.. weird...
You are NOT seing the same in your windows-explorer? Could you check if the order there also is reversed, default
insert image function doesn't work for me
THAT i con fix (yaehh..hh...hmm :]

scroll down to the headline "Inserting Images"

Xp .. you and me both, but i can run RC5 without slidest problems, and thats on a dual-core, with only 2 gigs ram.
RC5 is still not official (and never will be, cause a RC6 is lurking..) But try it
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... -win32.exe
-Remember to proper backup, uninstall dotfile remove etc...
IF you decide to try it
Yes, musikbear, those image-insertion instructions are the ones I follow with each attempt to insert an image into my post:
paste the url of the image into this box, select it, then select "insert image" above.
It surrounds the url, left and right, with the insert-img code, but then when I preview or submit the post, it only shows the word "image", instead of showing the actual image.
That is what I have done below.

And now it only says "image", instead of showing you the image. I did not type the word "image" above; I pasted my image-url, selected it, then selected the insert-image code.

So I have to paste the url here, so you can click on it and see the image:

And that image is what my LMMS looks like, every version I use regularly, every day for more than 4 years: 1.0.3, 1.1.0, and 1.1.3

If you look at the LMMS I use, you'll see there is no clickable bar at top, and nowhere does the word "name" appear.
(So you can imagine my frustration when you suggest that I click on a non-existent top bar, and then suggest that I click on the non-existent word "name".)

Now, back to my original issue: to view that reverse-ordering of data within the various LMMS dialog-boxes, please see my previous posts and click on the provided links to see the images.

And this reverse-ordering (Z-A) of all data within the various LMMS dialog boxes only started occurring last weekend, and it only happens within LMMS, and it's only happening on my Win XP machine, on which I have made no changes recently.
(I use it only for the music software which is on it.)

(You also mentioned something about RC5 and RC6. I think those have something to do with coding. I'm not a coder, so I don't do that stuff. I'm just a musician, trying to continue using LMMS the same as I've been doing for more than 4 years.)

This issue is a serious obstacle for workflow. It's kind of like trying to drive on the Autobahn in reverse, looking only in your vehicle's rear-view mirror.
