## What it is
ChanSort is a Windows desktop application for reordering and managing TV channel lists exported from a wide range of TV brands via USB stick. It supports copying program numbers and favorites between channel list files, even across different manufacturers.

## Use cases
- reorder TV channels on my Samsung TV from my PC
- sort LG TV channel list via USB stick
- copy favorites from one TV channel list to another
- rename or delete channels in a Hisense TV list file
- apply the same channel ordering to a new TV
- manage parental locks and skipped channels in a Sony TV list

## When to choose
- you want to rearrange, rename, or clean up your TV's channel list without using the TV remote
- you switch TV brands or models and want to carry over your channel ordering and favorites
- your TV exports channel list files to USB that you want to edit on a PC

## When to avoid
- you need to add new channels or transponders or change tuner properties - this is explicitly unsupported
- you are unwilling to risk potential side effects, as the software reverse-engineers undocumented file formats
- you need a Linux or macOS native application
