ChanSort 2025-01-15

ChanSort 是一款在 Windows 上執行的開源工具，專門解決電視頻道排序的麻煩事。多數現代電視都能把頻道清單透過 USB 隨身碟匯出，而這套軟體就是讓你在電腦上直接編輯這份清單，再匯回電視。它支援 Hisense、Samsung、LG、Panasonic、Toshiba 以及 Linux VDR 專案的多種機型，最明顯的特色是提供多種排序操作方式，包括直接輸入數字、上下移動、拖曳，甚至雙擊就能調整，也能一次選取多個頻道批次編輯，或參考另一份既有清單來套用相同順序。開發者持續維護，近一年仍有更新，在同類工具中算是小眾但口碑穩定的選擇。

這套軟體適合對電視頻道順序有特定堅持的人，例如家中長輩習慣特定排列、或是有大量頻道需要整理的使用者。相較於 KMPlayer 或 K-Lite Codec Pack 這類播放或解碼工具，ChanSort 的定位完全不同，它不做播放，而是專注在頻道清單的管理，因此沒有直接替代品。使用前要注意它僅提供英文介面，且需要電視本身支援 USB 匯出頻道清單才能發揮作用；授權為開源軟體，可以免費下載使用，但操作上需要一些基本概念，對不熟悉電腦檔案管理的使用者來說，初期可能稍有門檻。
