Anyone else notice that in DevStudio the 'order by file name' option is flat out broken?

When I saw it there in 7.6.11, I was soooo excited. The more I use it, the more I see it's not to be trusted. Please tell me there's something simple I'm doing wrong so I can enjoy it!

Where in Dev Studio is this option? I have a case open on the Allocation Wizard where the application list is not in alphabetical order. Since we have over 500 directories, it is a bit of a pain. But that is all I've noticed so far. I may not be looking in the right place. Once you let me know, I'll check it out and confirm for you.

In Dev Studio, when you open a 'Managed Reporting' server and scroll down to a folder level/domain in which you can edit a Fex. (i.e. go to a listing of a bunch of fexes in DevStudio).

In the list (right-pane of the window), the columns listed are: Name, Size, Type, Modified, and File Name. This looks just like a standard file list in Windows Explorer. Like Windows Explorer, you can click the heading to order by that column Ascending or Descending.

A quick check shows that all columns do the anticipated sorting order, except for 'File Name'. This column was not present in DS 7.6.6 but I noticed it after the 7.6.11 upgrade. Not sure which interim release it came out in.

Though I don't use MRE as a general rule, I was able to get all of the columns, including File Name to sort. I tested it several times to be sure.

Ginny, you're on 7.6.10 and ABT is having the problem in 7.6.11 - maybe it's broke?

I actually tested on 7.6.11. I haven't changed my signature yet. Too busy trying to get ready to go production with it next week. Mea culpa.

Good luck with the upgrade then

I'm closing as it appears there is not a solution. If I find something out, I'll attach to the thread.
