Am having to admit that I cannot figure a way to consistently order the scrips in the market watch the way I want.
1. When adding directly to the market watch, if no row is selected, the scrip is added just above the last scrip. If a row is selected, then the scrip is added above the selected row. This indicates that new scrips must be added in the reverse order to the way they are desired for view. There seems to be no way to add a scrip after the last existing one in one step.
If a scrip is missed out in the order it should be added; it creates more problems. Usually, after exit and restart, the position shifts. Sometimes after multiple exits and restarts, the position sticks. No definitive pattern.
If after adding directly to the market watch, you go to Groups and then Save and Update, the order in the market watch changes to the order in which the scrips were added.
2. When adding new scrips directly to Groups, there is this strange behavior of new scrips added to the top of the table, where as they would show in reverse in the market watch. In Groups, there is no way to order to a desired view.
Anybody has a good working technique to do this?
I have always wondered why scrips do not have an assignable serial number next to them. If a market watch is reordered by say percentage change or volume by clicking on the header, it would be trivial to reorder it back to the original by serial number. This applies to all tables: market watch / order book / trade book, etc. The only place I've seen a displayed serial number is the Odin Orders Book.
