It seems that way.
i have no idea how it it figures out the arrangement, i have mine attached at the top like this
[1] [4]
[2] [5]
[3] [6]
i attached them in the right order too
this is the way it shows
atlas, bricks, boomtown, creys, dark astoria, croatoa
the next one
ip, founders, echo:da, eden, faultline, echo:galaxy
Yeah, it's definitely not by level. I would actually like that.

WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev

Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
It seems to be at random.
The first teleporter I placed, I added the beacons from left to right. The UI maintained this order.
I did the same for all other teleporters, and none are in the order I selected/placed them. None are alphabetical, and none by zone level range.
Thank you, Champion.
In my blue side SG i had 11 Teleporters for all zones. Once the Hacked version came out, i made 10 of them, replacing all but one.
Overkill you say? Not really.
I thought long and hard about changing the porter rooms, but, since it has been unchanged in over two years, i just can't justify changing them now without knowing further changes will be made to the base, and therefor confusing my SG members several times with new layouts for the porter section.
My plan, which i already have drawn out, will be to change the Porter rooms when all available zones will be added to each base, meaning all blue, all red and all yellow zones. Due to the setup i have drawn out, i'll still need 10 hacked and 1 regular porter.
Basically, i made no changes, iDA was added to the porter that has DA, making that the only one who has 3. I just see it as getting ready for the future. Why make a large overhaul when there might be more changes coming? And my Porter area is on the corner of the base, i can't really utilize the gained space if i made one room, and i'm not going to radically overhaul my base while hoping that i don't have to make another radical change if all zones/sides will be added.

I thought that this thread was going to be about the best Sort Order or something like "what is the lvl Sort Order" and was ready to list what I'd done. If you'd like what I put then let me know as I'm not the best with screenies, but I can figure something out or worst case do something on CoH-Faces.

1. Regarding the order of beacons in the edit bar
2. Regarding the order of destinations in the new Hacked porters... in other words, can the order be controlled by beacon placement?
Either way, I'm not really sure of the answer.

I actually tested that last Saturday, and that wasn't the case. I tried carefully adding the beacons to the room in the order that I wanted them to appear but it didn't affect the order, as far as I could tell.|

Unless I missed a test case, I am thinking there is a fixed, internal ordering of beacons, and they will always appear in that order.

yeah, i sold all the beacons on one my htp
and played around with skyway and steel cannon
no matter how i put just those 2 on, steel cannon was always first on the list

I did something similar and found one porter was in lvl order, one was in alphabetic order, and the last one just didn't know up from down...I think they just have a drunk hampster on the other end going "watch, this'll be cool!"

I was trying to arrange the beacons so they'd show in the selection screen in alphabetical order.
Do the possible destinations auto-arrange by zone level?
