Looking for further clarification of Profiles

When you disable a mod from the mods page, you remove its hardlink in the game data folder. Disable a mod, click on "Open Game Mods Folder," and you will no longer see the mod (i.e., its hardlink) there. However, the mod hasn't been uninstalled. Click on "Open Vortex Mods Folder" and you will see the mod there.

 

The "enable/disable" button on the mods page is a kind of "on/off" switch. Enable a mod, and you turn on a hardlink. Disable a mod, and you turn off a hardlink.

 

So your remark about "Deploy" is getting close to the truth. When you deploy after enabling or disabling a mod, you commit your hardlink decision ("to be or not to be") and make it an integral part of your game until the next time you decide to change it.

 

OK, but does Vortex remember the "Sort Order" of each disabled mod?

 

IE, HUD mods that need to be installed in a certain order in order to work, such as aHUD, iHUD, DarNified UI

The install order is UIO, DarNified UI, Advanced Recon Tech, aHud,, iHUd. this allows you to move the hud elements on the screen, if you install them in the wrong order the elements won't move.

 

Now, if I disable all of those and later re-enable them, does Vortex remember their "load before, load after" state, and do I have to re-enable them in the order they were installed, or can I just go down the list, re--enabling mods and Vortex will handle the rest?

Excellent

 

If you set those rules, yes.

As Chanchan05 has already said, "If you set those rules, yes."

Meaning...if I have "set those rules" for MOD A, to load BEFORE MOD B, and I switch to a different profile with no mods, and then, a few days later, I switch back to the profile where "Mod A loads before Mod B", I can expect Mod A will Load before Mod B?
