Has anyone found a workaround for the change in the sort order used in the Paragraph Catalog and other listings of paragraph tags?
Our company's templates were set up with 1- or 2-character prefixes for all the common paragraph tags to facilitate keyboard selection via the F9 key. The most commonly used tags had a single-character prefix so that they'd sort to the top of their respective group, and the less common tags had a second character that was either a digit (to indicate indent level) or a mnemonically selected alpha character. For example, we have B-Body B2-Body 2 B3-Body 3 B4-Body 4 and T-Table Title TB-Table TB-Table Body Center TH-Table Heading etc, etc. This worked beautifully in FM6.0 and FM7.x. But in FM8, the sort order for the list changed and the hyphen now sorts *after* any alphanumeric character so that the order now looks like: B2-Body 2 B3-Body 3 B4-Body 4 B-Body Pressing F9 and then B, gets you B2. Pressing B again gets you B3. The only way to get to the base B-Body tag is four Bs or else B and a hyphen. And its much worse for the table tags, where the T-Table Title tag is now sorted as the last of 16 related tags stating with T. Other than a wholesale renaming of the paragraph tags in our templates and all documents based on them to change the hyphens to spaces, I guess we'll just have to get used to typing the hyphen whenever we use the F9 shortcut.
