Hi,

I have a question regarding a strange behavior in a .urd database :
I have 2 folders, say A and B, in that database, that each contain several subfolders.

All A subfolders are very well alphabetically sorted, and whenever I add a new one, it gets sorted right away.

On the contrary, B subfolders are never sorted, each new B subfolder places itself at the bottom of the previous ones.

I see no difference in A and B folders properties.

Is there a parameter I should check ?

Thanks.

Options | Trees | Alphabetically sort when adding children to new items.

Perhaps you used Tree | Sort Siblings on a "folder" or manually changed the sort order resulting in dissimilar behavior between the "folders".

Right-click on one of the children of Folder B and choose Sort Siblings.

Thanks to you and $bill. Will try that and let you know. I think I was selecting sort siblings on A and B directly, not on a the sublevel as you indicate...
