channel delete reorder, based on creation time

The “Deleter/Reorder” Component.

This does two things:

  1. It takes your input channels and deletes
    channels of a value of 0.

  2. Next it reorders your channels based on
    the time they were created, with the oldest
    channel being listed first
    (for exporting purposes)
    and the most recent channel listed last.

Example:
At 5:00pm channel23 goes from zero to 1 and stays at that value.
You now have one channel, channel23.

At 5:01pm channel60 goes from zero to one and stays at that value.
and at 5:02 channel8 goes from zero to one and stays at that value.
You now have three channels in this order for exporting: channel23, channel60, and channel8.
The order at which they are exported is based on the order they were created.

If at 5:03, channel60 moves from a value 1, to 0, and back to 1.
Now they are in this order: channel23, channel8, and channel60.

This component was originally created
by Achim to help out Jim Ellis.
Jim Ellis fine tuned it and released it as
a component.
