I think the order of the data in the view window should be numeric, right now it maybe which file loads first? order.pptx

@tims if you mean in the tool (hard to see in the pictures), you should be able to move them around. @rayg-ssec would know better on how things get ordered as you load them.

I also found this a very confusing issue. The problem is that when you load in all bands (by selecting them all and loading them at once), they're not in order from Band 1-16 (or Band 16-1) in the listing. The list is haphazard. And an ordered list would make more sense.

On multiple load I should be able to get the document to prioritize load order outer-band inner-time. By default single files get added to the "top" of the layer stack in order to be visible.

That being said, establishing user expectations of visibility on multiple load would be good, right now you get a lot of visible layers that you may or may not want - should only the 'last' or 'first' layer be initially visible?

When you're loading a group of files at the same time, possibly do a simple alphabetization sort on their file names. This should order bands for the same date/time in a more reasonable manner.

In the future we might also want to consider having "sortable" aspects in the layer view (stuff like sort on file name, sort on date, etc.).

Implementation of this should be done by having the guidebook have a "put these filenames into load order" command for now, which document can use when opening multiple files.

From discussion in #4,

layers load in numerical order (time minor, band major)
when a new file is opened, look for a time order (preferred) or band order to be applied as the new animation
Shift-left/right-arrow sets time based animation order from current selected layer
shift-up/down-arrow sets based based animation order from current selected layer

I think this is fixed when loading multiple files all at once, but will also change when the timeline view is finished.
