[Solved] Can't "Sort by" all of a sudden

Need help :)

from Stardock Forums

Heya. As of just a couple days ago, a specific fence portal's icons rearranged themselves in order of name rather than date modified as I had them before. Right clicking on the title and trying to "Sort by" yields no results. Other fence portals let me rearrange their icons. If I try to create a new fence portal of the problem folder it still doesn't let me. Reinstalled but it didn't look like it really did a full uninstall since my layouts etc were still here.

What would you recommend? Any help is appreciated, sorting by date modified is very important for my work, especially having paid for this program. Thanks a bunch in advance

Have you tried renaming the folder the portal is using?

That worked! I'm very surprised. Renamed it, created a new portal to the new path and it let me sort it. I had one other portal that had the same problem (didn't mention it) and renaming this one folder actually fixed that one too without having to rename that one. I hope this lasts. Thanks very much, it's super helpful

  Glad I could help. :thumbsup:

P.S. It would be helpful to others if you would add Solved to your original post in case others run into this same issue.

May I add that I have version 3.03 installed and this issue occurs repetitively with one of my 9 fences.   it is a roll up fence with 10 icons in it and it seems to freeze so that although the fence itself rolls up and down OK the icons are passive and cannot be clicked.   Interestingly the icons remain passive even when moved and placed in a different fence.  This is only solved by the resizing method mentioned above.
