Strange things going on with appended option sorting

I still haven't been able to find a solution to my problem with option sorting when the options are part of a unit added as a child via an option. Further, I'm really confused on how the option sort order is working since the following is happening:

Unit Name ## Hts Spd Trn Shd Arm Trt Ldr Cost
Corsair Squ. 1 - - - - - - 175
Corsair 1 1 1 40cm 90° Shadowfield 4+ - [50]
Corsair 2 1 1 40cm 90° Shadowfield 5+ 1 [60]
Corsair 3 1 1 35cm 90° Shadowfield 5+ 2 [65]
Cor3 Wpns 1 Cor3 Weapons 1 -
Cor3 Wpns 2 Cor3 Weapons 2 -
Cor1 Wpns 1 Cor1 Weapons 1 -
Cor1 Wpns 2 Cor1 Weapons 2 -
Cor2 Wpns 1 Cor2 Weapons 1 -
Cor2 Wpns 2 Cor2 Weapons 2 -

'Corsair Squ.' is a unit purchased from the list of 'Available Units' and 'Corsair 1' through 'Corsair 3' are added as child units via options for each 'Add Corsair 1', 'Add Corsair 2', etc. The weapons for each child unit are options with the 'apnd' and 'invs:nodisplay' attributes.

In the test data file illustrated above, the 'Add Corsair X' options are assigned in progressively 'lower' categories, with the 'weapon options' mixed in between according to which Corsair they are attached, like so:

C1 ~1st Corsair
C11 ~1st Corsair's 1st weapon
C12 ~1st Corsair's 2nd weapon
C2 ~2nd Corsair
C21 ~...
C22
C3
C31
C32

With this sorting, ~how~ are the weapon options for Corsair 3 being appended ~before~ those for Corsair 1 and 2? I'm 100% ~certain~ that 'Cor1 Wpns 1', 'Cor1 Wpns 2', 'Cor2 Wpns 1' and 'Cor2 Wpns 2' are set to higher categories like I describe above. How exactly does the sorting for appended options work?

Cheers,
Randel

Strange; could you post the data files in the Files section of this group
so that I can have a look at them?

Thanks,

I've already modified the test data files I was using for this, but
it would be easy to change them back so you can see what's going on
for yourself. I should have them posted in a day or so.

Cheers,
