Whenever indenting a group of items in the Data Explorer pane, the items are sorted automatically? No, it doesn't sort in any alphabetic order. Is it possible to stop it from changing the original order?

If you manually move an item relative to its siblings, automatic sorting stops. You will then be able to manually place items wherever you want them (again - relative to their siblings).

To go back to automatic sorting, choose Tree - Sort.

You can tell if URP wants to sort the siblings by looking at the Tree menu. If Sort is checked, then you've got the sorting function on. When you move an item, as above, you'll see that the Sort is unchecked.

Hope this helps.

Hi Bal,
Thanks for your help. Tree | Sort Siblings is always unchecked. The automatic random sorting occurs when indenting a group of items (Ctrl+Shift+Right).
Yes, after all items have been sorted randomly, moving items up or down (Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down) will stop the "Sort Siblings", of course.
Hope I could have elaborated the annoyance more clearly.
