@ruhar:
Could your "E 1" be sorted last because it is a different category? So RW sorts it thusly: First: Category Second: Prefix (if choosen), or Alphabetically (if choosen) Thus category Further information comes before Incident. It might explain it. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed.

That's what I think it's doing and it shouldn't do that. You can select "Organize Similar Kinds of Topic" but I don't have that selected. I do have "Sort Topics by Prefix" selected and the prefix is suppose to show before the title. In my mind that means that everything would be sorted first by prefix then by title. |

I agree, I wouldn't expect it to sort by category before prefix.
Maybe one of LW hardworking developers can enlighten us. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry.

I'm trying to understand what you're doing, because I do not have this problem, and I believe my sorting works just like you're describing you want.
I organize my topics by similar kind, and I place things in containers. I then use map legends for my prefix, and sort by prefix. I get the attached. Are you trying to do something different? Last edited by ThatOneMike; April 2nd, 2015 at 01:09 PM. |

If you look at just the "E #" on my list they are numbered E 1-5. Topics "E 1-4" are the same type and topic "E 1" is different. Topic "E 1" is at the bottom after topic "E 4" instead of at the top. That means it's organizing by topic, then by prefix, then by title. That's not what I have selected. Now do you get it ThatOneMike? |

I do see one strange behavior when I uncheck Organize by Similar Kinds of Topics: it still sorts by
Topic Kind | Alphabetical instead of just alphabetical, as you might expect with one combined list. Seems like there might be a bug there. However, going to your original post, you simply wanted things within containers sorted by prefix. I am able to achieve this behavior with my previous post. I tested with "Organize by Similar..." as well, to the same effect. So perhaps something else is going on with your database. |

Thanks ThatOneMike. Maybe I have something checked or unchecked that shouldn't be. It happened in another container I just created so I sent screen shots and a full description to the support team. Hopefully I'll hear soon if it's me or the program. I'll keep everyone posted.

Someday, an Excel-like build-a-sort functionality (or even something pivot-table-like if LWD wants to go crazy with it) where we can determine what order sorts should happen (or data be displayed) and whether they are A-Z or Z-A would be nice. That way we could create more useful groupings.
I must admit that I currently like my cities sorted together and my terrain sorted together. But like others, it's not how I would have expected it to work. I'm happy with it but it isn't intuitive. |

I want to update anyone still interested in this issue or has the same issue in the future. David from LW looked at my realm and found that it was a combination of a bug (now fixed) and something I was doing wrong. Here is what he sent me:
There are actually two issues at play with the sorting with one a bug and the other intentional.Thank you David for your help. |
