Can you provide the code for how you're displaying it?

thing_traits.dat

basics layout from tab_basics.dat

      ~set the separator width and position it beneath the attributes

      portal[Horizontal].width = portal[baAttrib].width - 30

      portal[baTrait].height = height - portal[baTrait].top



      ~figure out the total height we need for the tab

      height = portal[baTrait].bottom

      ]]></position>

The order of display for the traits is:
WPR
STA
REF
STU

This doesn't match the order in thing_traits.dat, and it's not alphabetical.
