Bruce, yes, I can manually reorder files in the "Project" list in the project sidebar, as well as in the Currently Open Documents (COD) pane. 

The COD pane defaults to alphabetical; that is, if I open a file in the top pane for the first time, it inserts itself in alphabetical order into the bottom pane. I like that behavior.

Fletcher, if I drag a folder from the Finder into the Project pane, its contents do not show up as alphabetized.

Is the "Project" pane in the Projects sidebar alphabetizing itself for anyone?  Is this a bug or my misuse/misconfiguration/misunderstanding of a feature?

David Weinberger <da...@weinberger.org>: May 03 09:00AM -0400 Holger,   Thanks for the tip. But I'm not saying D'oh! quite yet :)   I hadn't paid any attention to that preference setting, so thanks. Unfortunately, the most relevant option ("Add documents to sidebar in alphabetical order") was already checked. The option says:   BBEdit will add newly created or opened documents to the sidebar list in alphabetical order, if possible. Turn this option off to always add documents to the end of the list.     It doesn't affect the ordering of a project's files in that project sidebar; even with the option selected, it places additions to the project at the end of the list. I don't know if that's a bug, if it isn't meant to apply to the "Project" listing, or if I'm misunderstanding the setting. (That third option is always the most likely.)   David W. da...@weinberger.org [home page <https://weinberger.org/>] [writings <https://www.weinberger.org/writings/index.html>] [Everyday Chaos <https://everydaychaosbook.com/>] he/him

Bruce Van Allen <b...@cruzio.com>: May 03 07:18AM -0700 Just checking - have you tried dragging items up or down in the project sidebar to change the order? Works over here, even with "_Add docs in alpha order" checked.   — Bruce   _bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz_ca_

Fletcher Sandbeck <flet...@cumuli.com>: May 03 07:41AM -0700 FWIW, I've always thought the Project listing was alphabetical. It certainly appears that way in the projects I use. Come to think of it I can't even drag items into a different order...   However, if I add a "Collection" to the sidebar in the project then the files within that collection can be dragged into a different order. If all my files are within a collection then the sort seems customizable but if they are outside a collection then they are alphabetical. Similarly if I add an "Item" to the sidebar then that item can be dragged around, even into the folders that I have.   David, you could try dragging a folder from the Finder into the project sidebar and seeing if it behaves more like you want.   [fletcher]

Hi, 

If I open a file in a project window (a .bbprojectd window (New->Project…)), files are not neccesarily sorted alphabetically and can be dragged around in the Projects pane. The initial sort order for files in subdirectories seems to be alphabetical though.  

If I open a directory via “Open…”, then all files within the “Project” pane are listed and also added alphabetically.

I generally have one item in each project which is a folder that contains all of the files in the project. This results in the contents of the folder appearing alphabetically.

The behavior is quite different if I drag the contents of that folder into the project. Now, I have many items in the project and they can be re-ordered in any way.
