Description
First and foremost consider this:
- Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
- This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented
Description
The expected behavior makes it easier to modify it for labels to make them readable. This is useful when people are uploading autoconfig files.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No source file, test, version, or concrete reproduction steps are provided. Start by locating the controller-profile save or autoconfig serialization entry point and compare its output with the expected ordering shown in the issue. Done means saved profiles group DPAD and thumb-stick variables with the other button and axis variables as illustrated.
