I'm also not sure how you change text color.
#MENUCOLOR:RED;
For example... it responds to simple colours (RED, GREEN, YELLOW, etc.) and probably hex values, I've never tried though.

It responds to colors in the R,G,B,A format themes use (from 0 to 1) if you want a specific color.

Does this have anything to do with "listsort", by any chance?

Looking at all of the different custom sort options available, I would have to say that the "listsort" tag is the most attractive.If I read what the stepmania forum has told me correctly, all you have to do is place a "1" in the listsort tag of the song you want to be first, a "2" in the second, "3" in the third, and so on...
Am I correct in this?

you have to modify your folder's sm files...
in my case, i add at least 2 characters before the main title under TITLETRANSLIT code like:
#TITLETRANSLIT:[2 extra charcters] [main song title];
for licensed songs--- add 2 numerical characters in ascending order,
examples:
#TITLETRANSLIT:01 Be Your Wings;
#TITLETRANSLIT:02 Bonafide Lovin';
for New KOes--- no modification so it will be automatically arranged right after licensed songs
for CS DDR imports (displays after New KOes):
#TITLETRANSLIT:zv [main song title];
for BEMANI imports (displays after CS DDR imports):
#TITLETRANSLIT:zw [main song title];
for BOSS songs (displays after BEMANI imports):
#TITLETRANSLIT:zx [main song title];
for ES/RDA songs (displays after BOSS Songs):
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy [main song title];
for EES Songs (displays after ES/RDA songs):
#TITLETRANSLIT:zz [main song title];
misc: if you want a non-alphabetical order for RDA group just add a number after zy like:
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy1 Shiny World;
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy2 Sakura Sunrise;
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy3 Pierce The Sky;
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy4 Anti-Matter;
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy5 New Deacde;
#TITLETRANSLIT:zy6 POSSESSION;
Under Select Music Screen, press F9 button to switch between Native or Romanized text in songwheel banner to get rid of the first extra characters.
cons: they will alter the arrangement when you sort them by ABC aside from GROUP sort.
That's the reason i chose to apply that in my DDR X2 folder only.

Does it have to be done with every sm file in the category folder?

Yes. All he's doing is tricking the alphabetic sort. StepMania uses zA Brighter Day for sorting because it is the actual name of the song, but it uses "A Brighter Day" as the display name. Well, if there's a section you actually want in alphabetical order, you can skip editing the .sm for one such section (but no more than one).

But this would screw up any attempt to do actual alpha sorting in-game. I would rather use a metrics method so that when I did want to sort by alphabet I could.

Not quite. If you were
1
10
11
12
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
So you need that zero at the beginning to prevent that from happening.

I had to do that when I organized the folders to follow the series releases.
Right now I can confirm that the SongManager PreferredSongs will not work in 3.9 so I'm going to test it on 3.9+ Redux.
Update: It will not work in 3.9+Redux either

I know most people have it and this probably doesn't fit into the particular topic but...
to make a specific set of songs show "ONLY" (LIKE how DDR EXTREME had graduation as a first song)
in METRICS, go to the SortMenuActions line and add "sort,SORT LIST" and on the SortMenuNames add "anything"
for me, i have...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SortMenuNames=GROUP/SERIES:ABC:BPM:DIFFICULTY:FAVORITE:REPLICANT D-action
SortMenuActions=sort,GROUP:sort,TITLE:sort,BPM:sort,HARD METER:sort,PLAYERS BEST:sort,SORT LIST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and in that sort option i have the seven RDA songs in my own order.
Pierce The Sky
Sakura Sunrise
Shiny World
New Decade
Anti-Matter
POSSESSION
Valkyrie Dimension
instead of alphabetical letter first.
but i hope it will only be temp as I would like to find a way to have all my groups in specific orders.
... ... ... ... ...GOD I HATE THAT SMILEY WHEN YOU DON'T NEED IT!
EDIT: now i was wondering if you are able to "HIDE" a group folder so songs only show in a specific sort because I have those songs in a folder and it seems stupid because you could just go to the folder instead of going to that sort option.

I've found Beware's Extreme Theme and I found the sortorder file in the songs folder. Now it makes me wonder if its possible to have sortorder file in each song folder? Looks like I'm gonna have to test that theory out.
Update: Well there went that idea.

on an interesting note, again, in the SM file of any song, using the selectable tag which I have found a better use for, finally. Depending on how many songs you are playing with per round(ex: 3 stages + 1 ES +1 OMES) instead of YES or NO, try 2 and that song will now only be playable on the second and final stages of your round. (still testing on extra stage and on more extra stage because i have heard that you can make it so you can only play that particular song on extra stage) it would be useful for unlocking songs by special means.

So if I put 2 on all the X-mixes they will only show up when I have just enough stages to play them and disappear if I play a normal song instead?

Okay I have tested this code in one of my folders and it works, but I'm not getting the correct result that I needed so I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

So umm... is there a way to organize the folder order?
Not the individual songs inside a folder, but all of the folders.
Like if I wanted to go
DDR X2
DDR X
...
DDR 1st
etc...
instead of
DDR 1st
DDR 2nd
...
DDR X2
etc...?

unfortunately the only way to do that is
01 DDR X2
02 DDR X
03 DDR SuperNova 2
04 DDR SuperNova
etc
etc
I had to do it that way so it would go from DDR PS1 to DDR X2 PS2 and DDR HP3 Wii in the order of game release and I wouldn't have all the Ultramixes, Universes and Hottest Parties all clumped together.
