Hi Markus, it wasn't made specifically for that purpose, but you could use Tunafish for that (also in unregistered mode).

Simply load up the plugin and the FXB, export all presets to FXP (there's a function in the menu that does that), reorder them the way you like and import them all at once again and save as an FXB.

Cheers,
Bram

I opened Vanguard .fxb's in Minihost, then use that to dump individual .fxp's to a directory. I then used dmbankmaker to rebuild the .fxb from the .fxp's and it sorts them by the order they're in the directory (i.e. alphabetically). You can sort patches directly in Minihost, but all you can do is shift them up and down, and this takes ages to get them alphabetized.

My advice is to start with "A" and work your way down to "Z". I should also point out that its not the most musical way of sorting presets.
