I like the Airfields tab but…
Some airfields have a lot of plates. Cologne, for example, has 44. The ordering in the index doesn't seen consistent: there are groups that seem to be sorted by title but there are many groups, so for example 3-1-3 appears below 5-7-3 which is below 3-1-1 (with many intervening, such as the DFS Approach chart).
As a minimum, could you sort by title please? Ideally, could you allow preselection of plates that are expected to be used, e.g. by putting them at the top of the list?

Awful Charlie, you may be using an old version of SkyDemon and you will note a different user interface if you upgrade. That's assuming you're using iOS/Android. If you're using a PC, all you have to do to clear the list is Route -> New.
Julian, if only it were that easy. Categorisation of documents is done by our own software based on document names; there is no EAD metadata. We could attempt some sort of parse and alphanumeric sort but this would need to be different for each country, as there is no naming standard for these documents. Some countries put no numbers on at all. Some put three numbers, like you've pasted above, but with varying delimiters. Many do something in between. We could change the way we do things to lump all IFR stuff into one category but I would worry that would upset people who are accustomed to our current behaviour.
