Hi,
my missions got the names 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on... How can I sort the missions in the StartMissionGUI numerical?

If you're usding a GuiTextListCtrl for your misson names you can sort them with the sort function.

ConsoleMethod( GuiTextListCtrl, sort, void, 3, 4, "(int columnID, bool increasing=false)" 
"Performs a standard (alphabetical) sort on the values in the specified column.")

Then I got:
10
11
12
13
14
15
2
3
4
5
6
7
...
Not really the right order...

You can name your missions like this

01
02
03
...
10
11
...
20
...

and sorting will work :)

Nice idea. But a lot of work for 60 mission, ahh I only have to change the first nine or not?
