| I have quite a lot of POIs loaded into my i3.
The usual stuff like speed camera locations and MAFT's useful list of
POIs.
I also add my own, like my favourite shops, the main offices of my
employer etc.
What I have noticed is that there doesn't seem to be way of determining
the list order of POIs when listing them on the i3. They appear to be
in the order that they're added to the i3 using the POI Loader.
For instance:
Say the first time I use POI Loader to load POIs with names:
Burger King.csv
Safeway.csv
Tesco.csv
They will appear in the POI list on the i3 in that order.
The next time I load:
ASDA.csv
Burger King.csv
Safeway.csv
Tesco.csv
They will appear in the i3 in the same order as before, but with ASDA
added to the bottom.
My question is...
How can I ensure that they're loaded in a way that makes them appear in
alphabetical order on the i3?

| I believe on the Garmin i3 units, the data isn't sorted in any way, but
listed in the order in which they are added. If you want to have them
listed in the proper order each time, you will probably have to delete
the POI entries and add them all in again.

My understanding was that when using the POI Loader, all previous POIs
are automatically deleted and replaced with what is being uploaded.
Are you saying that I should upload a blank POI list and then upload
the list of POIs I want?
