ORBX Central, when doing a "Sync Simulator" is renumbering the layer numbers I put into my add-on.xml.

I don't like this.

Yepp, a known fact. Sometimes annoying (if you manually edited the layers), sometimes helpful (if something went wrong with the layers). You can use Lorby-SI Addon Manager to easily correct what ORBX Central did wrong. Just make sure you use the newest b02 release together with the P3Dv5 HF1, otherwise you will have a mess.

Of course ORBX needs to shift other layers in order to fit itself in and to maintain correct library point inserting. But it would not have to shift ofther layers down. Here is a simplified example of what I have:

I use layer numbers above 1000 with spaces in between. I have around 250 layers in that xml and want to them to be shown alphabetically in the scenery library. I left spaces between the layers so, in my example, if a scene BBB has to be added I do not have to touch each layer.
