I didn't realise that! How did you find out? Trial and error, or is it actually in the help file somewhere? > What i was wondering was if there is a way to do this automatically.

If you create a new view mode that is sorted by subject and apply it to the folder, then use the CTRL-click method to add the second sort to that, it will remember that. Anytime you apply that view mode to another folder - voila, it works! Unfortunately it does forget the second sort if you ever go into manage view modes and edit this particular one - so the moral is, once you have set it up, don't try to edit it. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
