  function to list the names sorted alphabetically. This is now fixed.

- Philips: ChannelMap formats 100-115 did not always fill "Source" and "Polarity" columns correctly

  were loaded and columns reordered.

2021-09-05

- Philips: added ChanSort.Loader.Philips.ini file to try out different configurations until working ones get confirmed. 
- Philips: disabled deleting channels for most file formats (they require files for menu and tuner to be kept in-sync).
- Philips: identified several variants of ChannelMap_100 format which now have special handling.  
  - one that exports \*cmdb\*.bin files is now fully tested and working.  
  - ones that export only .xml files inside the channellib and s2channellib folders should work too, but not confirmed.  
- Philips: ChannelFormat_105 and 110 specific settings in .ini, currently best-effort without user confirmation.
- Philips: added support for Repair\\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists. Can be read as a reference list, but editing is
  currently disabled in the .ini file (enabling it is experimental)
- added experimental support for 8 variants of "dtv_cmdb_2.bin" DVB-S channel lists (DVB-C/T not supported yet).  
  Brands known to use this format include Sharp, Toshiba, Dyon, OK.  
  Philips also uses this format as part of ChannelMap_100, but only for the tuner data and uses .xml for the menu.  
  All variants need specific configuration in the ChanSort.Loader.CmdbBin.ini file. If your file is not supported yet,
  please send it to me via github or email.
- Sony: Files with incorrect checksum are no longer rejected, as the TV seems to ignore bad checksums.

  When you choose to "Modify current list", the single-table view is used by default,
  otherwise the split view. But you can always toggle between them.
- added option to select a color theme. The UI now uses the "Office 2019 Colorful" theme by default,
  the old theme was "Office 2010 Blue".
- improved many keyboard shortcuts (open the drop-down menus to see the shortcuts)

2021-07-25
- DVBS_Program.csv, DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv, MSxxxx_DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv:

- Philips: older models which export a Repair/*.BIN file can now be loaded, when there is an invisible .xml file in the same
  directory. 
  (Philips exports the .xml file with file attributes "hidden" and "system", which makes them invisible to Windows Explorer)
- upgrade to DevExpress 20.1.6

2020-07-13
- Samsung 1242 format: channel names were displayed as chinese letters instead of latin
  (Names are not stored as characters in this format, but instead 16 bits of UTF16 code points are encoded as "payload"
  inside 3 byte UTF-8 sequences)

2020-07-12
- added UTF-16 Big Endian and Little Endian options to character set menu
- Samsung .zip loader: auto-detect UTF-16 endianness and allow to change encoding after loading to UTF-16 LE/BE
  (some files use Little Endian format and show chinese characters when loaded with the default Big Endian format)
- Customized column order is now preserved across file formats and input sources
- Note about LG WebOS 5 files (e.g. CX series):
  It is still unclear what exact firmware version and conditions are needed to properly import a channel list.
  Users reported about varying success of an import, reaching from not possible at all, only after a factory reset, 
  importing the same list twice or working just fine.
  The problems is not related to ChanSort, as it can be reproduced by exporting a list to USB, swapping channels 
  in the TV's menu and trying to loading the previously exported list back. The TV may keep the swapped channels and 
  show inconsistencies between the channel list in the settings menu and the EPG.
