ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When adding Apps to the EFB the order in which they are added is not being respected in the Favorites bar of the EFB. Additionally, the six dots to the left of the App’s name in the list would seem to be a handle to grab to drag the app into the position you want it sorted, but that is non-op. Primarily, the issue here is there is, apparently, no way to control the sort order of the Apps in the Favorites bar.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes (I know it is clear I have add-ons installed in the screenshot; I’ve tried both ways.)

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every Time

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• No & Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The sort order is fixed in SU2 Beta, but the ability to drag to change the order is still non-functional. One has to remove all Apps and then add them in the order they desire, but there is no way to alter said order without removing them all and starting over.
