Identifier set to prefix not working?

In Manage Categories I have "Identifier" set to "Prefix" for a new Category called "Episode Guide" which is basically a copy of "Player Synopsis"

I thought this would allow me to put in a name like "Fire in Space" and an identifier of "1.12" to show that it was Episode 12 in season 1.

I thought it would then display in the Story Almanac in episode order, but it is showing alphabetically as Fire in Space (1.12)

Did I miss something somewhere that would cause it to display as "1.12 Fire in Space"?
My Category is under "Other" in the Simple Grouping if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
 
You also need to configure the topic hierarchy to display topics with the identifier AS a prefix. There are many cases where you will want to sort by prefix but not actually show the identifier as a prefix. Go to the Options menu at the top (<F6>) and enable the option "Show Identifiers as Prefix When Available". Then you should be good to go. :)
 
OK, I guess that worked for me when I set those for the Story Almanac. What does the Identifier: Prefix/Suffix choice when defining a Category do then? I was expecting that to affect where the identifier was displayed (in both any lists and when you are entering data for a new one).
