Description
Hello,
I'm very new to Phy and I can't figure out how to sort my channels in the traceview according to channel number.
I sorted my data using Kilosort 2.5 and am now trying to fine-tune my results and learn phy at the same time.
Right now, it seems that channels in the traceviw window are sorted by x-position first and then by y-position. I am recording from 16 tetrodes in a grid-like configuration, where channel 1-4 is tetrode 1, channel 5-8 is tetrode 2 etc. Fro example, in the picture below, the top left tetrode has channel 0-3, and the top right has 4-7.
So, I'd like to review the traces so that they are grouped by tetrode (which is the same as by channel number). Is that possible?
Thanks,
Susan

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the traceview channel-ordering entry point and determine how channels are currently ordered by x- and y-position. Done means traceview can group channels by channel ID so channels from each tetrode appear together, with coverage for the requested ordering.
