It doesn't matter if the plugins in the master file have an asteric (*) in front of them. Lines that begins with # will be ignored. You can copy and paste a loadorder that is posted online to a new text-file and name it master.txt. This is simply a plugins.txt file or loadorder.txt file renamed to master.txt. This program will sort both if both are present.

Mod managers usually uses loadorder.txt to determine load order. * plugins.txt and/or loadorder.txt - plugins.txt manages loadorder in the vanilla game. You can build on the STEP master load order with plugins from your guide/pack and share. You can use it to share a proper STEP load order without having to create LOOT rules or worry about LOOT updates messing up the load order. If anyone else wants to use it, be my guest. I plan to use it when I create my packs for Skyrim SE.

Mods that were active before the files were sorted will be active after the files are sorted. In at least Fallout 4 active plugins are preceded with an *, which means that the mod is active. Lines in any of the files that begins with # will be ignores as this indicates it is a comment. It gives a report of what plugins that the user has that aren't in the master and what plugins that is in the master but not in the user load order. What it does: lo_sort simply uses a load order file as a master and reorders plugins in another load order file using the master load order. This program makes it easy to share your load order and to let others import it. Therefore I prefer to sort the load order manually and place the mods in an order that makes sense to me. This order may change without you knowing it if you run LOOT after you have resolved everything.

By reordering the plugins you resolve the conflicts. Resolving conflicts often means that you will have to choose features from one mod or another. With LOOT your load order might suddenly change when the master list gets updated and you have no idea if your patches or mods will work they way you want them too.

It is a great program for those that like what it does but I don't. I made a super simple program in c++ but thought I'd share if anyone wants it.
