The steps for adding and selecting the Chinese sorting method are as follows: • Click on the “Add new ...” button. • Select the desired plug-in to use from the list, namely “Chinese - Radical / stroke count”. • Click “OK”. • Optionally enter a name for this sorting configuration, e.g. “Chinese sort”. • In the “Language” list in the top half of the dialog, click on the language you would like to have sorted with this newly selected plug-in, namely “Chinese” in this case. • Click on the “Select ...” button to choose from the list of “configured sorting methods” in the bottom half of the dialog. • Select the sorting configuration from the list that appears, here “Chinese sort”, and click “OK”. The Chinese side of the dictionary will then automatically be resorted with the new sorting method. Note that you must first configure a sorting method in the bottom half of the dialog before you can select it for use in the top half of the dialog. Also note that, unlike the table-based sorting, the Chinese sorting plug-in has no further end-user configuration options; hence, the “Configure ...” button will be disabled for this sorting method.

Once you have configured a sort method, you may want to re-use the configuration for other projects. The “Save ...” and “Load ...” buttons allow you to save the current configuration to a “sorting configuration file”, or load a previously-saved configuration.
