If this is an issue (you cannot load the footprint you want), either change the library list order using the "Up" and "Down" buttons in the dialog above or give the footprint a unique name using the standard footprint libraries that are installed as part of KiCad. 2.4.4.

Working with symbols Placing symbols To place a symbol in your schematic fields. Presets store which fields are displayed, which fields are used for grouping, and the column order. You can create and save your own presets or use one of several default presets. Custom presets can toolbar. 24 When multiple symbols are added simultaneously, they are annotated according to the Order setting, sorted by either X or Y position. The Numbering option sets the starting number for new
