P: Problem with metadata XMP-files

Hi!

On latest two versions of Photoshop, there's a problem with pre-saved XMP-files. They appear in alphabethical order in Library - in XMP -subfolder, but when you open the File Info, the list is in mixed order. In other words, a big mess.
Didn't find any solution for this. It's not a big problem, but really annoyning when you're fixing loads of pictures with different metadata.

Fixing or help needed:)!

P.S.
Remote support didn't find any solution and thought that it's a bug.

This should be fixed in 22.1 or later.

I seem to recall similar problems with Metadata templates, Mac-only. I think its a change to the Mac folder sort order.

This is apparently an issue on the Mac and not specific to Adobe software.

Yes!

In XMP-template folder all the presaved files are as they should be, in alphabethical order, but in Photoshop in random order. I didn't find any way to fix it.
