So is there any method to back out of the problem where you once click "OK" and then forevermore watch the system reshuffle the order back to alphabetical.
I tried setting up in the gui to load a context, and when the gui starts up, it loads the maps in the order in which I open/saved them in the context. The startup maps in the web page setting running as a service at that point is BLANK. I can put the maps in that web page, submit, restart the service and watch it all vanish. I'll be doing a update on several systems from 5.0 to 7.xx, how should I proceed to get the maps to load in the order I want them to.
