I should also mention that I tested the sorting-Watchlist operation by entering new symbols via the "type-in" route and not by the usual Metastock plug-in-database route. Who knows, perhaps this makes a difference.

It looks like there are three routes for getting to sort - right click on symbol, right click on Watchlist name, symbol tab. I find that all three work sometimes and then (at least in my case) stop working. Closing/Opening and rebooting AB fixes things sometimes. When things are working OK, the tab route permits multiple Watchlists to be sorted. So, when it works "it is very, very good and when it doesn't its horrid" as the nursery rhyme goes. The other problem I have (not been able to play with it enough to be certain how it happens) is that the Watchlists get out of order, do not appear at times, or are incomplete. Perhaps this is related to the stop-go behavior of the sorting function. So far, closing AB and reopening fixes these problems but I'm sure this is not considered normal operation. I think TJ indicated that he was aware of display problems which is how I would characterize this wrinkle as the Watchlist and their content are not affected -- so far. Bottom line - sporadic behavior and no idea why.

I suspect only the latter usage is intended in that invoking the former from a symbol in All, Markets, Groups or Sectors makes no sense to me. -----Original Message----- From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of wavemechanic Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 2:03 PM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: watchlist sorting (vers 4.91.1) This screen shot is what I get with symbol >> watchlist >> sort.
