See how the portal 's contextual menu looks different (not "Sort Fence by" as on regular fences). On a regular fence , the menu looks exactly as it should, and the manual sort of icons works as expected: <span

Thanks for the tip, but I did that step by step, right now, and it didn't work. Once Windows Explorer is reloaded (or upon reboot), the icon (visual) order goes back (visually) to alphabetic order, although the "Order by" remains unchanged and unset. I'm restoring my old Windows environment now (System Restore Point) because, after purging Fences, I lost my Fences personal settings. I hope the developers can fix this order issue soon. It's very annoying to reorder various gr
I'm using the latest version on Windows 7/64-bit. I'd like my fences to respect the manually set order of the icons (I have "view" = Icons), so I keep the "order by" option unset. However, upon Windows (or Explorer) restart or even after restoring any snapshots, the icons get reordered as if it was set to "by name", even though the "order by" remains unset. Is there any options I'm missing? Thanks in advance.
