Contest selection dropdown list should be sorted

[w7sst]

Description

As part of the multi-contest implementation, the new Contest Selection dropdown list contains a menu of contest names. This list is current not sorted. We are currently using the contest enumeration value as a storage key in the MorseRunner.ini file and want this number to not change.

Steps To Reproduce

1. When adding a new contest, we want to append the new contest to the end of the enumeration and contest definition table.
2. This may cause the displayed menu to not be sorted. This is the case when adding CQ WW Contest.

Expected behavior

The dropdown list should be sorted.

Actual Behavior

We currently see declaration order, not sorted.

Reproduces how often

Always.

Version information

• Morse Runner version: 1.80, plus a new contest (requires code modification to see the problem).
• OS/Version: Windows 11

Additional context

• Currently, the menu items are added directly to the SimContestCombo control in the Main.dfm file.
• The menu items are stored in SimContestCombo.Items.

Implementation Ideas

The implementation will involving:

• writing code to programmatically add the menu items to this list in a sorted order
• tagging each menu item with a tag consisting of the contest identifier (the TSimContest enum value). Using a menu item tag will allow the menu items to be sorted.
• This also technique will also allow future internationalization.
