Mutagen VS PluginTutorialCN

I'd just do it using Mutagen instead.

Then I remembered Mutagen and Synthesis and had a patch working inside of a couple of hours.

Ideally we would have/get a loot alternative that uses something like the Mutagen Library to sort plug-ins based on their internal records and not their names while still allowing those custom community maintained sort rules.

Yeah I've been looking into a bit too, and this tutorial will help: https://github.com/gottyduke/PluginTutorialCN/blob/master/docs/resources/Plugin.md

Here's something I wrote time ago, Memory Patch it's only written in Chinese and you'll have to use Gtranslate, but I think it's a relatively easy and practical case to start with memory patching.

What we are severely lacking is decompiling/memory address tutorials however, which is the bulk of troublesome plugin modding. There is one tutorial from gottyduke (https://github.com/gottyduke/PluginTutorialCN). It's in Chinese, but if you run it through a translator it's remarkably understandable
