It doesn't. I've no idea what kind of sort mechanism the character selection uses - if any. I just imported a character whose name starts with an 'A' and it's imported it into the middle of my character list. Currently the first letters of the first 4 characters in my list are A,B,Z and A. It doesn't seem to matter either who owns the character - those that I own aren't sorted into any particular order but they do all come after all the characters that are un-owned

Then I imagine it is in the order of the database nodes (i.e. 'id-00001', 'id-00002', 'id-00003', etc.).
I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.

Does the character remain in Manage Characters after step 4? Or are you deleting the character after you've exported the file?
Additionally, what are you calling the file when you save it in step 4? You shouldn't be saving it to the \characters directory, this is used by the Fantasy Grounds manage characters functionality and your own exports shouldn't be put there.
As has been mentioned by others, the characters should stay in Manager Characters and then they are available to import when you join a GMs game of the same ruleset type (e.g. 5E).Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Helpful as always!
I'll make sure the characters are loaded back into 'Manage Characters' and then see if they show up in games. I may very well have cleared them out of there after backing up but before connecting to the host campaign. Then I'll get all my character files relocated out of the FG directory to avoid any possible conflicts.

2) Not that I'm aware of.
The other thing I have noticed with importing characters is that you can import the character multiple times, when I first reimported a character after some updates were done on a different copy of FG (different computer), I had a second copy of my character instead of it replacing the current character.

If you use the same filename when exporting a character FG will overwrite the file with the new data, it won't append.
If you use the /exportchar chat command (without a character name after it) then all characters will be exported into the file specified.
