calm down there man, the sky is not falling yet
.
Have you tried other sorting options ?
Sort by category, Sort by Type, Sort my Manufacturer ??
I wasn't a big fan of the new change either, but now that I have got used to it. it has become a lot easier.
you can now sort directly in the browser by right clicking on a plug in (rather than the old way of using the plug in manager).
I don't quite understand though, are the UAD plug ins not labeled correctly (Stereo or Mono) ?
The plug in manger wasn't "Broken" per say, but it lacked a few good quality's.
a lot of folks wanted this update, so we (that includes me too) were the less of the majority who wanted to keep things the way they were.
