If the data is filtered and a new row is inserted, it is not always adjacent to the row above (or below) which it was inserted.

Similar issue when the data is sorted?

Currently quitting the program doesn't save data. It would be helpful to have a dialog with "Cancel", "Save" and "Quit" buttons, to cancel the quit operation, save data then quit, or quit without saving.

When saving data, the program should sort according to column(s) specified in the .yaml file.

If no .yaml file used, or if no column(s) specified in the .yaml file, then no sort is needed on output (and it is up to the user to keep the rows in the desired order).

Leading zeros should be maintained when reading and writing.

Option for sorting would appear in control file. If not specified, text sort used.

Example 1: column contains a 4 hex digit value, often with leading zero. Leading zero must be maintained and text sorted according to hex value.

Example 2: column contains 1, 2, 2.1, 3, 19, etc. Text values should be interpreted as numeric values and ordered accordingly. That is, 19 should not come between 1 and 2, as with a text sort.

Someday it might be nice to have a Settings menu item that would allow editing of the settings in the .yaml file. Until then editing the .yaml file outside the program will be fine.
