<div>Hello,<br>
</div>

<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>

<p>Some code found here could help.<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

</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>
<p>Cheers!<br>
