*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 W.
