Nested Folders Added to BOTTOM Not Sorted Alphabetically

I store mail messages received either via IMAP or POP locally in their own project folder within a folder named "2009 Projects" - which is in the local mailbox "On My Mac"
After SL Update, new folders I create are at the BOTTOM of this list of folders, instead of sorted alphabetically.
I can manually move this folder anywhere in the list of folders, that's weird, but maybe it's a preference I can't find.

Great, excellent work. Now to put on my scripting hat and automate this somehow.
yeh, I was thinking about that. it's easy enough to write a script to delete all those files once you know the exact locations of all the cache files that need to be deleted but making it universal so that it doesn't require any user customization is a bit trickier.

Saved form data and logins are not sorted alphabetically anymore

Go to gmail, double click in the "username" field, suggestions appear in a drop down box. If you have more than 1 gmail account they are no longer sorted alphabetically, '''they are sorted by the order entered! '''(with the newest entered on the bottom)
I believe that this is related to the files formhistory.sqlite and signons.sqlite not being sorted properly.
Also the addon "Form History Control" will NOT sort these fields alphabetically. Setting browser.formfill.bucketSize to 99999999 or 9999999 in about:config does not work either!

Thanks for the reply but I have already searched and found that info, it does not work. Firefox is not Web Standard compliant in this regard.

Nested folders... why not?

Seeing as FrontRow's interface looks a lot like the iPods (not in looks, but in layout), and it supports Playlist folders, why can't the iPod? This feature is long overdue and would help many people. I, like many others, are sick of scrolling through 80+ playlists on our iPods. Nested folders are a necessity for the avid iPod user.

Events not sorted alphabetically on Classic iPod

In June 2008 I bought a 160GB iPod and synced the iPod from my Macbook Pro that I bought in March. All my 2500 iPhoto photos were in titled events and sorted alphabetically on the event name.
When I first synced the iPod via iTunes, the events were also in the same alphabetical order on the event name in the iPod. I have synced the iPod many times over the summer and fall and the events on the iPod have remained in that order.
A few days ago, I did a Software Update on my Macbook Pro and one item was a new version of iTunes (8.0.2). The next time I synced my iPod, the event names were no longer in alphabetical order. I added more photos and synced again but the event names were still out of order.
I did an iTunes Restore to erase the iPod and restore the current iPod software. That didn't help.
Any idea how I can get the iPod event name order to match the alphabetical event name order in iPhoto?
Thanks

Hello GasMan333,
Congratulations on your your new MacBook Pro! With iTunes Match, songs may be matched at a higher quality:
All the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality—even if your original copy was of lower quality.
iCloud: iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2588
The higher quality songs are convenient to have on a computer, but with an iPod, there is a space limitation to consider. You can choose to have these songs sync over at a lower bit rate to be able to fit more songs onto the iPod. Check out the following featured discussion for steps:
How do make songs take up less space on my iPod?

CONTACTS 'Custom Label' list not sorted alphabetically ? ? ?

In both I/OS 6 & 7 the 'Custom Labels' I created to more accurately identify new Contact phone number I enter, that list is no longer sorted alphabetically (like it use to be in previous operating systems for my iPhone 5). Does anybody know a work-around?

No way to move any buttons in iOS devices.

Why are albums still not sorted alphabetically?

iPhoto 11, v. 9.4.2
Hello all,
I am running Lion Server and I share the server's iPhoto Library (source lib) on the local LAN.
When other Macs access the iPhoto Library the albums that are alphabetically sorted on the server are displayed randomly on the "client" Macs.
I prefixed all albums with a date such as 2012 12.
In the last few years Apple has introduced a whole range of new features (faces, places, events etc.) but this vexing issue hs not been not resolved for many years.
Or is it me who is missing an option ?
Thank for your suggestions,
Twistan

Only Apple can answer that kind of question.

Various Artists is not sorted alphabetically

Don't know why but since iTunes 11, the column browser is sorting 'Various Artists' somewhere in the K letter.
Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

I don't that's it Steve. The View Options doesn't apply to the column browser, only to the albums.
Thanks for your reply.

Mail Not Sorting new Folders Added Alphbetically

Hello! I have tons of sub folders in my inbox, and I would like it to sort them all alphabetically. This was all fine, but recently the last 6 folders I added to the list were appended to the bottom of the list, and not sorted alphabetically with the rest of the sub folders. Is there anyway I can reapply the sort alphabetically feature to the folder list? I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1) Closed and restarted Mail App
2) Restarted Computer
3) Added another new folder and it is still appended to bottom of list even after all the reboots
4) Mail is confirmed to work
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure, but I suspect the new Snow Leopard feature ...
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html#mail
... that lets you move folders around manually might be what's causing the weird behavior.
In Leopard, you could move a folder inside another folder but, otherwise, they would always stay in alphabetical order, I think.
Anyways, in Snow Leopard (and Leopard for that matter), there's an invisible file around ~/Library/Mail/<name of your email account>/.mboxCache.plist It seems to keep a list of the mboxes in that folder/account. In Snow Leopard, the first time you manually move an mbox out of alphabetical order, a new key called MailboxDisplayOrder seems to get created in that plist for all the existing "non-special" (i.e. not INBOX, Sent, Drafts, etc.) mboxes in that folder. Once that key exists, it seems like new folders get appended to the end of the order.
I don't know the right way to fix the problem though. I'm really just posting my observations, based on what I'm seeing on my computer. I'd be very careful about manually messing with invisible files in your mail, especially if you don't have a good backup. (No idea if you can restore an invisible file with Time Machine.) A lot of this is guesswork. But I thought maybe it'd help someone.
Later,

ITunes 9.1 not sorting artists correctly

Just upgraded iTunes on Win7 PC to 9.1 and seem to have a problem with sorting on the Artist.
I have a large (2800 CDs + various downloads) collection, with a lot of jazz - so quite a lot of music where the artist name is not a band name but a person's name. I always edit the Artist name so that it's Last name, First. The Album Artist that was added a while back was a nice help in this issue, but it seems to be causing problems with 9.1 I noticed after the upgrade that iTunes went through my library - and afterward, I suddenly had 150+ artists more than I did before. Charles, Ray had become 1) Charles, Ray 2) Ray Charles 3) Charles, Ray. (Yes, TWO entries with Charles, Ray.) Many other artists have similar issues and it seems to be taking the Album Artist and making duplicate entries for songs/records. When I removed the AA from the above, it collapsed back into 1 artist.
Additionally though, I have noticed that there is even more than that wrong. For example, I have many John Coltrane records. All 66 of them are now showing up in the sorting order as "Coltrane, John" - but in the letter "A" next to Alice Coltrane. Similarly for a couple of Stevie Wonder songs - they now show properly as "Wonder, Stevie" in the list, but they're sorted in "S" as if it's "Stevie Wonder".
This is really maddening. It looks to me like Apple messed up something here, and it's playing total havoc with the organization of my collection.

Update - it looks like after quitting and restarting iTunes, the problem of not sorting alphabetically (Wonder, Stevie in S) is gone.
However, it does appear to be sorting on Album Artist as primary key, instead of just Artist, and so far I can't find a way to change that.

Project folder list not sorted!

Hi,
I've just downloaded and installed SunStudio 12 on Linux x86. Then I created a new C++ project from existing code pointing SunStudio at my project's source folder which contains many subfolders. Everything went fine except that the list of project folders in the "Projects" tab is not sorted alphabetically. Is there an option to make the folder list appear sorted?
Thanks
Vadik

My openSUSE 10.2 system uses "LANG=en_GB.UTF-8" throughout.
Folder names are simple things containing only ASCII characters like "libxyz" and "libabc", etc
BTW, I've also reproduced this issue on several openSUSE 10.2 systems used by my colleagues.

Create Exchange Folders... NOT smart folders

How the **** are you supposed to create a regular folder for Exchange without going into the OWA to do it then update Mail? Surely you can create a standard folder that you can move your mail to from your Inbox...
Okay, I get it now. Create Mailbox, not Smart Mailbox. Moving from PC to Mac is difficult.

I'm having the same issue. My Playbook is connecting to Exchange using ActiveSync. Folders are not sorted alphabetically, which makes it difficult to manage my inbox. Are there any updates?

Numbers 3.2.2 is not sorting the last entry

I have simple list of books I've read with 295 entries. Entry 296 will not sort alphabetically either ascending or descending. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

You can also select the table then open the table formatter to see how many, if any, footer rows the table has:

I have Firefox 3.6.12. How do I alphabetize bookmarks. I go to sort, alphabetize, and then when I open bookmarks, they are not sorted, not alphabetized.

My question is the same as above. I "sort" by bookmarks in alphabetical order, then go to open all my bookmarks and they are not in alphabetical order. Some bookmarks are single; some are in folders.
I have a long list of bookmarks and it's taking forever to find a bookmark because they're not in order. You can email me at <email removed - c>
Thanks

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275/ SortPlaces] add-on may be of interest to you, it gives greater control over sorting bookmarks.

Newly added af:table items are not sorted? Bug?

I have written a simple adf faces 10.1.3.0.4 screen with an af:table and made it sortable calling SortableModel.setWrappedData() with an ArrayList of VOs. When the user clicks a header, the rows are sorted as expected. So far, so good.
Now I do a PPR on the table and add some additional VOs to the ArrayList. Next the af:table re-renders itself and these new rows show up at the bottom of the af:table, IGNORING the user's chosen sort order. Is this a bug or am I missing a step/setting?
Or maybe the question is when adding these new items to the underlying ArrayList, is there a way to force the SortableModel to re-sort its contents?
I can post the sample code if the explanation is not clear. Thanks.

After additional investigation what I found was that the item most recently added to the table is not sorted, but it gets sorted once another item is added, etc, etc. So there is always one item not in the correct order. This simple example below (which demonstrates polling, PPR and height limited table scrolling) will show the behavior. Click on the header to sort the column, then watch the bottom of the list...after the table refreshes (5 seconds), the bottom row will not be sorted.
So my question is, "Can anyone think of a way to get the bottom item to participate in the sorting"?
