I DO also reorder the volumes, and that works ok.
I was talking about the items you drag onto the sidebar.
What I spoke about is that certain items, which I added (and
sorted) manually, do suddenly NOT APPEAR anymore in the sidebar. In
fact, 16 to 18 out of approx 21 items just disappear. That
"disappearance" does not occur regularly, but it happens often
enough to have pushed me to save a copy of the relevant plist file
("com.apple.sidebarlists.plist").
To help us interpret your problem, could you PLEASE be specific
about what "items" you are dragging onto the sidebar that are having
these problems, and what part of the sidebar you are dragging them
into? Files? Folders? Aliases? iDisks? Servers? Searches?
I drag folders only, they appear under the heading "Local". The
folders are NOT on the boot volume, but on a partition of the internal
hard disk.
Those items (in fact: their alias files) are listed as item 1, item 2,
item 3....and so on in the "com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" under the
heading useritems > CustomListItems.
I have a copy of that plist file saved elsewhere. This copy contains
the complete item list, in sorted order, as desired.
When the case happens, that the sidebar does not anymore show ALL
items, I replace the actual sidebarplist with the saved copy, quit the
Finder, restart Finder, and in most cases, everything returns to normal.
But occasionally, Finder will not read the replaced sidebarplist,
until I log out and then in again. It's that, what is bothering,
b'cause I have to save all documents and close all apps .....
So, I'm not necessarily looking why the sidebar gets crazy (I did not
find it out, but I guess it could be "DefaultFolder" prefpane), but
how to get the Finder to accept and recognize the replaced
sidebarplist....
