Changing the order of dictionaries? (Boox Note family)

Howdy Note experts,

Today I'm going to post a series of short questions about the Boox Note (running the latest firmware from June 2019).

I've installed 3 dictionaries. When I long press a word in an Epub, the dictionaries appear in the reverse order from the one I want. I can't figure out how to change that.

What I've tried:
- Edit the dictionary name in the ifo file (nice!) and give some sort of alphabetical order
- Edit the 'modified date' of the directories and files. Works in the Dict App, but not within NEO reader.

Thanks in advance.

Wishing y'all a fun weekend!

I use moon reader + fora (goldendict also works fine) and you can order the dictionary results inside the dictionary app (both fora or goldendict). Other advantage is main dictionary app doesn't use inflected forms file (.syn) so if you have a dictionary with inflections they're not used and you'll miss a lot of words from results.

Main dictionary app has a lot of shortcomings.

Koreader it's another option (reader + dictionary in one), i tested some time ago and i think it allows to orther the dictionaries.
