Topic Title

Hello,

I have the Layer Manager set to stay open, and I sort the layers by color - they stay in that order with no way to get them back to their original order? I did not click on the Save New Layer Order button.

Close and reopen the LM.

I had tried that, and it didn't seem to help.

I can confirm that if you sort by a header and then change a color it commits the new layer order. Should only commit if the 'Save new layer order' button is clicked or a layer(s) is dragged into a new position.

NO! NO! and thrice NO! I am fully aware that I shall be howled down here - yet again. But I shall try. One lonely voice in the wilderness. Oft is the time that I select a GTV, enter in unto the Layer Manager and float all the "on" layers to the top. I then save the new layer order, close the Layer Manager and proceed to use the old layer menus to on and off layer as I work on the chosen GTV. Messing about with the order of layers over the years, has never once caused me any problems with printing or anything else for that matter.

What I would dearly, dearly love is a toggle, (an ini setting?) that would permit me to have the new layer order saved each and every time that I mess about with the layer order in the Layer Manager. Whether, I sort layers by colour, drag them about or sort them by onness or offness.

the Save Layer Order Button in the lower left is there for your use.

It would be a shame if the Layer Menu disappeared. It is so easy now to have only one layer active (Alt-Q) or turn layers on or off (Alt-L). This is the reason that I need the layers of a GTV floated to the top, so that you need not endlessly ScrlFwrd to find a layer to on or off.

As Josh suggested, if every time you invoked a GTV, the relevant layers were mysteriously floated to the top, ( by some magical Datacad invocation) this would be fantastic. I would not then even have to go to the Layer Manager in order to do this. Many steps saved, less work and more production.
