Absolutely, the substacks should stay listed under their main stack, would be chaos otherwise I think! So it would be a 2-level sort, mainstack as the first level, then substacks within each main stack as the second level. I'll put in a feature request. Pete Haworth On Jan 13, 2011, at 2:59 P

I'll be daggummed. I checked the short name of one of my stacks, and it was Datagrid 1! LOL! Apparently I was bitten in the butt by this same anomaly. Too funny. Bob > I personally find the property inspector a bit annoying too. GLX2 had a > pretty good property inspector, and Remo has a way

Livecode is a great tool but the IDE is full of user interface weirdnesses as far as I'm concerned. There are three different Find/Replace dialogs and you're never sure which one will pop up when you press command-F. The File menu contents are completely different depending on which window is
