warderbrad	Printout Order Hello, I am a new user of the software. I am not using it for MTG or any of the CCGs out there but for D&D 4th edition Power Cards. As such as supplements come out new powers will be released that will need to be inserted into the sets we have. For instance this month there will be a book come out that will have a number of new powers and lets say the Fighter class has a new 1st level power. If I add the power to the list it would be added to end end of the set and when I generate a printout it would not be with the rest of the 1st level cards. How can I either reorder the cards or how can I set up a printout based on some other ordering than the default one?

You probably just need to click the # column so that it sorts by card number and not name. If that isn't the culprit, please post a screencap or more info about the problem. +VISIT MSE Custom File Library

warderbrad	As you can see the order in As you can see the order in card number order is not in order by level of the power. Should a power in a new source come out it would be added to the end of the list and not placed in level order (if I understand how the program generates the card numbers since there is no editable field for them). When I generate a printout the program disregards any sorting I have done in the window and sorts by the same thing all the time. I am wanting to find out how to change this. I would like to be able to dictate to the program what it should use to sort the cards for printout.

Twan MSE Developer	The program prints the cards The program prints the cards in the same order they appear in the card list when it is not sorted. When the list is not sorted (by clicking the same column again two times) you can drag cards around to change this order. In the future I will change the order to correspond to the order in which the cards appear in the sorted card list, since that is what people expect.

I just want to take a moment to note that this doesn't work for me currently; even if I reorder the set by dragging, they continue to print in the order in which they were created.
