DL: How did my planet list get reversed?

from GalCiv2 Forums
My planet list is usually set to class (number of usable squares)--
high to low.

All of a sudden it was low at the top to high at the bottom.
Now I know a lot of lists in programs can be reversed but I didn't
see a button to do that. It would be really annoying for the list
to go from low to high (particularly for colonizable planets).
I reloaded and things were ok.

I wondering if I did something to make this happen.

This is in DL.

At the top of the menu where you can see the planets, you will see things like planet, class, population, income, military, social and research production then buildings being constructed and then starport construction.

Just click the population tab (it should be filled with red colouring) and it will revert back to largest to smallest. You can do this will all the buttons there. (really useful in locating certian planets.

We aren't talking about the same planet list.

I am talking about the list you get from hitting the planet button at the lower left on the main screen.

I realize there is a second planet-colony list buried under one of the other buttons. I don't use it as much.

I use the planet list (from the planet button) when I am deciding where to send my colony ship. If the ship is selected and you punch on the planet, the screen goes there and you can right-click to get the colony ship to go there. It then shows how many turns it will take. Usually. Sometimes just a line goes there without the turns and then I wonder whether it took. I am talking now about DL.
