Some words about "==Sort order -- something after idx==".
Most of the files i have seen have this note added in "DB_idx.csv". This means what it says, there is something after the index. Sometimes the index is in the middle of the file, sometimes near the end.
But it can also mean that the index-header-lenght is broken, somewhat too short. You can see this in S3D as an Unknown Chunk on the end with unusual huge numbers on Type and Subtype. For example Type: -732102642, Subtype: 1799828.
In general all thouse files with these false index-header-lenght can be easily 'repaired' with a Hex-Editor. Naturally there are also other files which S3D will not read, not only those with index-problems.
Greetings.
