Layer Sorting

[kool_rider]

How can I sort the list of layers in the Layers Properties Manager so they are listed in ALPHABETICAL order? When I click on the column heading for layer Name, they list correctly in alphabetic order. When I close the Layers Properties Manager and re-open it, they are sorted in random order again. How can I lock the listing order to being ALPHABETIC?

i'm thinking this has to do with the variable maxsort... let me pull up my help file and see if that's it...

hmm... from the help file...

maxsort
initial value: 1000
Sets the maximum number of symbol names or block names sorted by listing commands. If the total number of items exceeds this value, no items are sorted.

wonder if that could be it?

My variable MAXSORT was set to 200, so I reset it to 1000, and it has worked. Thank you so much....I have been racking my brains out on that problem for weeks. You are a lifesaver!
