Sort Other Names for a Topic

[Jay_NOLA]

Is there away to sort the order or move names for a topic if you are using Manage Names.

I've got some topics for a realm that are skills with specializations and I want to be able to sort the Other Names so they are in alphabetical order when displayed as my Topic is for example:

Combat (Specialization)

With the other names for that page

Combat/Any
Combat/Energy Weapons
Combat/Gunnery
etc.

and now I need to add in some other specializations from a supplement for Combat, but can't get them to display in alphabetical order the old ones always show before the new one.

Have you tried to switch from alphabetical sorting to prefix and back again?

I don't know if it works, but perhaps it forces RW to run the sorting algorithm again.

That worked when I had to do another topic just the other day. For the one that weren't when I asked my question. I ended up just redoing all the other names under Manage Names as the alphabetical sorting wasn't working for some reason.

Odd - do you have step-by-step instructions so we can see what you are doing?

I just typed in the names under Other Names and right clicked name and selected sort ascending A-Z. The names didn't sort on that topic when I tried it in the past. I ended up like i said having to delete all the other names and re-enter them. They do sort now though. and sorting does work on other topics.

Well, that sounds as some sort of hiccup - just tested in my end and it works here as it does now in your end.

Maybe it is one of those cases where we say "computers, eh?" and shrug.
