    Does anyone know what determines the order of the spells known list for each character (within a spell level). I would like my cleric's spells to be listed in alphabetical order instead of the seemingly random order of the current list. Anyone know how I might accomplish that?

    Maybe learn them in alphabetically order? :)

    But clerics get them all at once. Does it maybe have to do with the dates that the spell files were last modified in the rules/spells folder?

    I examined this today for a while, and came up with no pattern for the order. I thought maybe it sorted by school of magic, or casting time, or the spell_enum.mes file was ordered funny, or something else, but I couldn't find any logic to it. I checked, and the order is also screwed up in the vanilla verison, although the order is different.

    Here is what I get for first level spells in 8.1.0 for a NG cleric:

    Hide From Undead
    Bane
    Magic Stone
    Magic Weapon
    Bless Bless Water
    Cause Fear
    Command
    Obscuring Mist
    Cure Light Wounds
    Curse Water
    Detect Chaos
    Detect Evil
    etc...
