Any ideas how I can get my drop-down Layer Control to alphabatize layer names? The listing of layer names is appears random to me:
When I open the Layer Properties dialouge box the layer names are alphatized by name, so that works, but it doesn't translate over to Layer Control.

Yeah, the variable "maxsort" needs to be set to something higher. I think the default is 1000 but if you use lots of xref's then you can obviously have more layers than that.

MAXSORT was it! It upped it to 2000 and presto, the Layer Control drop-down was alphabatized again. Thanks!
