I think this might be your problem. Here's what I found in IBMlink: The problem is with SDSF. The local fix is to issue SET CSORT OFF. CSORT stands for cursor-sensitive sorting.
APAR PM59695 - PTF - UK77441 superceeded by UK79343 (neither ptf has been received) With CSORT enabled, browsing/selecting a job and doing PF3 out of the job may turn on or change the SORT setting on the primary panel, the job was selected from. In some cases, browsing a job and PF3ing when the cursor is not on the command line can cause unexpected sorts on the primary panel. IMPACT TO CUSTOMER: User Sort will be changed CAUSE OF ERROR: ------------------ ISFDSP does not know the difference between an enter and an end from secondary panels.

I have been noticing lately that they fairly often mysteriously shift to being sorted by JOBID. No matter -- I just enter SORT CRDATE and move on. I have been wondering what causes it, however. I just now happened to do a couple of PF 12 = RETRIEVE's and lo and behold, retrieved the following command: SORT JOBID A Many spaces before the A -- perhaps some sort of program-generated command? A is the default, right -- a human would not normally type it. Does anyone have any clues where this mysterious SORT statement could be coming from? I've checked my KEYS definitions, and none of them are set to SORT anything. Thanks. Not the most profound issue ...
