I am using X-Plane 11 30 beta 4
Perhaps that's the issue?

It is telling you that there are various entries in your scenery_packs.ini which it has not categorised and you therefore need to move them. Open up the "tree" and just drop the entries into the correct boxes using the established order. This is explained in detail here (https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/442579-understanding-scenery-order/) and in numerous other places. Once you have done that you can then use the "preview" button to ensure that all is correct.
You also need to ensure that auto save (top left) is clicked "on" otherwise what you do will be undone as soon as you exit. I have a feeling that many people aren't setting this, hence the problems.
You might wish to look at this excellent overview video.

XOrganiser does not seem to handle the Orbx GB South files particularly well. It ignores the Orbx A,B,C file order recommendation, and cannot be altered.
Nonsense. I have always used XOrganiser for manipulating my scenery_packs.ini, did so with the Orbx files, and it saves them without problem.
It doesn't necessarily put everything in the correct order but it makes moving the entries around so much easier. Instead of cutting and pasting it is simply a question of moving an entry from one box to another. Then, so long as autosave at the top is "on", it writes it to the file. And I would have thought that a red bar telling you there are incorrect entries would actually be helpful so you don't waste time firing up the sim. Then you just ensure everything follows the correct order as Admiralty013 states....it's hardly rocket science!

This is a really important observation. With XP11, Laminar are probably attracting a lot of new users to this platform, who previously would have nothing to do with largely because of a number of distinctly non-user friendly features. I'm one of them. Now however, with ORBX embracing XP11, the program's embarrassingly amateurish handling of scenery is drawing a lot of attention (particular when Microsoft had this figured out over a decade ago). I hope that either developing an appropriately 2018 scenery UI becomes a priority for Laminar or that ORBX develops a utility that will solve the problem.
There already is one, xOrganizer, and it's been referenced many times already. It would solve virtually all the problems with the scenery.ini that people seem to be having.....

I know development takes time, but with now two flight sim platforms technically held hostage by the ObjectFlow.dll is there any estimate available on time frame for the SE version compatibility? Thank you in advance
Perhaps if Dovetail had been a little more proactive with third-party developers in advance of the issue of FSX:SE then this problem might well have been solved by now.

Do a search for xOrganiser in YouTube. There are plenty to choose from.
