Yes, I did. > This is the place where the problem occurs.

Unless I'm missing a step things stick here. Your steps seemed quite clear. I have a number of view modes already created here. All I did was to set a single folder to use no view mode and then attemtped a sort change via the menus. I moved away and back to the folder to see that the sort change I made was still applied. > I am now trying to think how to amend my BT note > https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3962 > to reflect that I still believe the programmers have a problem to > address with this behavior.

Would some such wording for me to use > in an amending Note to my BT report be appropriate? My only problem is that, though you're clear, and you make sense, I can't duplicate the problem. The other thing is that I doubt that this will stop any confusion. The more popular cause for confusion is setting a global view mode and then trying to set another folders view mode where the new settings will not stick. -- -= Allie =- .....
