Thanks a lot Benz!
There's only one thing:
Would it make more sense to stick to the chronology of the generations
(sorting them before displaying them)?
If you think Benz's patch is good, then I will push that one. Otherwise
I'll adapt it to sort the generations.
@Benz, what's the copyright line you want to have in the patch?
Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
