Hi - I am really having trouble getting layers with the first few letters *identical* to appear together in the layer drop down list
Even clicking on the layername field button at top of list does not sort the layers by name! -
Very frustrating when even the first letter is ignored by sort
- screenshot attached.
What is the solution? Is this a known bug?
Cheers

Its a good trick for organizing when you don't want them to be in alphabetical order.

Well spotted!
That was exactly right. I have been using this standard template with those layer names for years & never noticed it before!
At 1600x1200 and with such a small font it is very hard to pick unless you are looking for it (my excuse anyway!)
I was looking for a much more complicated explanation - silly me😉
Thanks
Paul
