Hi Lisa, thanks for the quick response. So at least I know, that it wasn't a MLO bug ;) I did what you tried and surprisingly it worked here too. I'm not sure, why it didn't before. Anyway, I copied all my existing task into the newly created folders and all seems to be working as it should.
On thing is still strange though. In the view I have to use descending order to get an A-Z ordering. I always thought, that ascending would do that. Am I wrong? Thanks again for your help. Jill.
