        <div>I have a lot of layers that are often similar in names and
          structures (e.g., 2018-01-20_daily-path_length,
          2018-01-21_daily-path_length, 2018-01-22_daily-path_length
          ....), but not always. Is there a way to automatically order
          the layers by alphabetical order, date, etc.? I am not talking
          about grouping or sub-grouping. I am looking for a function
          that would allow us to sort them by certain specifics (e.g.,
          order by modification date, order by rasters then vectors). </div>

    <p>There was an experimental  sort layer plugin but I can't find it
      from QGIS 3x. Only on the web site.  Maybe it has not been ported
      to qgis 3x.  Anybody???  I believe the "Load them all" plugin
      could help also.<br>

        <div>Second question. What is the best practice for
          transferring data from one external hard drive to another? A
          2TB drive is full with a lot of Landsat images and now I would
          like to transfer the data to a 4TB one. How do I make sure
          that I have a smooth workflow without looking for layers
          within each project?</div>

    <p>Personally, I used Syncbacks free or SE.  <a href="https://www.2brightsparks.com/welcome/syncback-syncbackse-syncbackpro.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw26H3BRB2EiwAy32zhVgBM3Bb_uJ-H69UvKghHCBr7yB8rDZ3evsXuY1ASKJYsv5O3HT0yxoC5_YQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">https://www.2brightsparks.com/welcome/syncback-syncbackse-syncbackpro.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw26H3BRB2EiwAy32zhVgBM3Bb_uJ-H69UvKghHCBr7yB8rDZ3evsXuY1ASKJYsv5O3HT0yxoC5_YQAvD_BwE</a>
    </p>
    <p>You could always just copy and paste from one drive to the
      other.  This can work if you are not accessing the files from the
      drives at the same time.  Never <b>cut</b> and paste. That can be
      messy if things go wrong.  If you keep the same file structure,
      QGIS projects should work on the second drive. Your hard drive may
      also have a free software to do the job.  I would keep the first
      drive as a backup.</p>
