The strip sorted by label: X1:1, X1:2 ... with X1:N and X1:PE at the
end whatever the plan looks like, so a strip drawn across pages came
out in an order no cable follows. Sort it the way the plan is drawn
instead -- folio by folio, then left to right -- in both places that
order a strip: the auto import's own sort of the terminals it groups,
and SortTerminalStripCommand, which the import pushes for a strip it
just creates and which the editor's sort button and
qet.sortTerminalStrip() push as well. The two share one comparator
(SortTerminalStripCommand::planOrderLessThan), so they cannot fight
each other. A spare stands on no folio, has no place in the plan order
and goes last, by label; the label breaks the remaining ties, so two
terminals at the very same spot keep a stable order.
Add an automatic import which groups the free terminals of a project
by the part of their label before the first colon ("X1:2" goes to the
strip "X1"), creates the strips missing and sorts the terminals in
natural order, as one undoable step.
The import runs when the terminal block manager opens on a project and
can be run again from a new toolbar action. It only adds : the strips
already known keep their terminals and their order, and terminals
without label are left free.
