Instead it gets just added at the end of the list.
In the plane list in FMB it orders just as usual and how everybody is used to, but contrary to that, in the actual mission itself it's as explained at the end of the list.

So far I wasn't able to work arount this, even to the point of stipping the entire plane set and readding the planes again one by one.
I have to admit though, I didn't build the entire mission again from scratch so don't know if that would "fix" it, but highly doubt that would be worth it.
Neither do I know if this is related to 4.11 or was there earlier.

Thx guys

It seems as though Icefire is thinking you mean one thing and I am thinking you mean something totally different. So I am not sure now what you are saying.

Look at the first screenshot on the left. This is an Aircraft list for a coop mission. You can see how the flights are kind of scrambled...not in order. Is this what you are talking about? If so....read on.

If you look in your mis file near the top, you will see the flights listed here:

[Wing]
USA_BG_307z00
15AF_325FG_0HQ00
15AF_325FG_0HQ01
USA_BG_307z01
8AF_056FG_0HQ02
USA_BG_307z02
USA_BG_307z03
15AF_325FG_0HQ02
8AF_056FG_0HQ03
8AF_056FG_0HQ00
15AF_325FG_0HQ03


So, what I have been doing for many years is basically putting this list in the order that I want. You can take this list and make it look like this:

[Wing]
USA_BG_307z00
USA_BG_307z01
USA_BG_307z02
USA_BG_307z03
15AF_325FG_0HQ00
15AF_325FG_0HQ01
15AF_325FG_0HQ02
15AF_325FG_0HQ03
8AF_056FG_0HQ00
8AF_056FG_0HQ02
8AF_056FG_0HQ03


Now, look at the second screenshot. After you make the changes, this is what the Aircraft list in the coop will look like. I'm thinking that is more to your liking.

So the process is simply using Copy/Paste for individual flights and moving them to the position you want. Just be smart and make a copy of the mis file before making any edits. This way you have a backup in case you make any mistakes.

I do hope this has been a help to you. If I got it all wrong...oh well...maybe it will help someone else.
