Why do Vortex keep rearranging my mod load order for no reason?

[4POINT4]

I'll have it perfect and then *poof* its completely destroyed. Is this what they meant by "Premium" because, if so, I definitely need a refund.

Three and a half months later and still no answer?

 

After sorting load order - and turning off auto-sort by LOOT - Vortex still resets loadorder to an incorrect state.

 

I need to sort using Wrye Bash every time before starting the game (Fallout: New Vegas in my case).

Regarding Vortex/LOOT supported games: if auto-sort is disabled Vortex can't update your local plugins.txt... so that incorrect state should be expected as you're forcing it to rely solely on some other 3rd party app to manage its own plugins.txt - which is absolutely unnecessary and easily avoidable. Although it is apparently not so easy to understand if you've never used LOOT or its various built-in functions that it has to control load order (by overriding the default sort with your own personal preference).

You'd be best served by creating your own post and providing a direct example of or at the very least, a few more details on what in the load order isn't being set where (with default auto-sorting on). Once understood, there are built-in functions that can and will let you do almost anything you could ever want vs complicating stuff by using another manager (including standalone LOOT App) which is imho, inherently incompatible with Vortex and dramatically less effective.
