Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I need to change a folder path on the Manual Import dialogue and scroll to the bottom to initiate the "interactive import" or the "quick import" function, once I find the folder path that I want.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have the submit buttons on this page in the same footer as the following page to save time in scrolling down the list of your previous folder paths (which are typically obsolete anyway)
Enable user sorting on the folder path history list.
List the folder path history to newest first (if you're using the newest path as a copy/paste function for finding your path faster, makes more sense).
Place the "quick import" and "interactive import" submit buttons before the folder path history list in the body of the dialogue, if it is not possible to put the buttons in the footer.
Hard limit the folder path history list to limit the length of the import dialogue (Sonarr and Radarr respectively have a limit of 5 tuples

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't trust Lidarr's quick import for large amounts of different artists and albums, yet.

Additional context

Sonarr Manual Import limit of 5 tuples:

Radarr Manual Import limit of 5 tuples:

Just delete some of the old folders you've already imported (press the x next to the folder name)

PS this will be in the new Sonarr too, it's just just Lidarr being difficult

Yea we can footer the buttons to make this a bit easier, but to @ta264 point, why do you have so many individual folders left?

@ta264, @Qstick I thought this was an automation program?

What do you mean?
As in, just the ability to delete a historical path in the list? That's ok. As long as it doesn't slow the process down... More clicks are annoying

I have never had to delete old folders already imported in Sonarr or Radarr...

It is an automation program if you use it correctly. The reason you don’t have this issue in Sonarr and Radarr is because you are not diving into individual series paths and adding as root folders or manual import sources. Based on your screenshots you have music everywhere. D: N: N:/Unsorted. @ta264 point was that Our UI came from Sonarr so you’ll have same issue on v3, also if you used Sonarr like you do Lidarr you would have a hundred folders as well.

We will fix the UI footer, but will not be automatic cleaning root folders/import sources. That’s something you need to control.

It is the Manual Import function from the Wanted>Missing page, not the managed artists area...

I have cleared a lot of the historical paths. To my understanding they're only there for importing music manually...
I'm not having issues actually having the artists match and import, I'm having issues with the interface.
