Allie, my question above to Nick Andriash was in the nature of a rhetorical question because he had stated that "No View Modes" was not a choice option. I think perhaps he was looking in Options/Preferences/Messages/View Modes when he wrote his argument to me, although I didn't figure that out when I replied to him with the comment to which you have replied. Obviously, I can *choose* it, in The Bat!/View/Global View Modes. I *have* chosen it. And if your analysis and that of Stuart Cuddy is correct--and i believe that it is--the drop-down menu is working as designed. But the wording is quite confusing, as I said in my other post in Reply to you this morning, in that one has no clue when using The Bat!/View/Sort-by that settings chosen there are now, since v. 2.11, temporary. So. Either keep the function of The Bat!/View/Sort-by temporary. Stuart Cuddy regards that behavior as useful. And re-word the drop-down menu to reflect that changes made here in Sort-by are temporary and specific for the particular folder. Or: Change the behavior of The Bat!/View/Sort-by to make it consistent with what happens when one clicks on a Column Name or when one configures the parameters in The Bat!/Options/Preferences/Messages/View Modes. I may be getting there. I'm heading toward putting an amending note to my BT report on this issue, https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3962 -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.1 (Professional Edition) on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
