Topps Future Stars Club has monthly 5 card releases (each one numbered 1-5). In the DB, we have the main set empty, and each month is an insert set. Assuming that is the best way to do that, within "Inserts" it seems to default sort alphabetically. That makes sense 99% of the time, but in my OCD mind I'd like to see this set chronologically. 
1 - Is that a bad idea (or too far off site standard)?
2 - Is there a way to change that already that I'm missing?
3 - I haven't tried, but I think if I changed the insert names to have the numeric in front ( 04 - April, 05 - May, etc) it would accomplish the same thing. Any opinions on that?
4 - Should I just get overmyself and leave it alone?

Is there a continuity to the sets? Would having them in chronological order actually matter to the presentation (meaning, would cards be out of order if you were looking at the player's listing), or is it just personal preference? 

No continuity, each month is #d 1-5, no rhyme or reason to the subjects that I can tell (It's called Future Stars Club but it's mostly established players and retired greats so far). Just makes sense to me, but I may be overthinking it. 

I personally don't collect this set, but I agree, chronological would be better in my mind too.  Easier to find the month you're looking for IMO

Kinda the same for me with numbered / coloured parallels. I'd rather see them in SNxx order rather than colour, for example 2018 Upper Deck CFL:

Gold /50

Purple /15

Red /199

I'd rather go Red, then Gold, then Purple (decending SN)

The inserts will be listed alphabetically, it is how it is set up. I just completed the GPK Weekly set and it is the same thing, listed each month alphabetically.

What does it say on the card?  April, August, December, etc.?  Set 1, Set 2, etc.?  Or maybe nothing to differentiate them?

Every set of 5 (so far) has a different design on the front. On the back it says what month ("October 2020 Set" for instance), and a synopsis of the theme of the month (something that connects the 5 subjects). 

I went ahead and updated it, but I welcome any feedback and can easily return it to the default if that is the consensus.

The month numbers are not on the cards, and could actually be confusing. They shouldn't be there.

Now that I've looked at a few scans, I agree with vrooomed.

I changed them back to how they were. Thanks for looking and for the feedback!
