Hi @Anonymous, have you try clicking the Text title again? and remember that the only way to compare whit another version of AutoCAD is using the same file, I mean whit the same text

Thank you all for your answers
The problem happens in new files as in old ones
I tried many times and it's always the same
I downloaded Autocad at the end of December from this address:
https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/free-trial
Then I receive from my company the license key
Where should I go for updates?

I had the same problem with AutoCad 2107 but not with older versions

Thanks in advance

Hi,

>> Where should I go for updates?

Start Autodesk Desktop App, make sure you are logged in (with your company account), then wait a few minutes so the list of updates gets refreshed.

After this you can see the updates available and you can start the update process within that app.

But even with AutoCAD 2018 latest update the list of find results can't be sorted, bug stays present.

Hi @Anonymous,

This is a known issue that the development team is investigating. I have been able to get the sort to work in my drawings by clicking on the different headers repeatedly. Sometimes it works and other times it does not. This issue seems to be most prevalent on Windows 10 systems. Is that the OS you are running?

I encourage you to contact the product team directly through the Product Feedback page.

The links below go into more detail about the best ways to make suggestions.

Another great option is to participate in the AutoCAD Customer Council. This is an opportunity for our customers to partner with the AutoCAD development team to improve future releases of AutoCAD by giving continuous feedback on ideas, designs, and early builds.

In order to get involved email autocad.beta@autodesk.com or autocad.lt.council@autodesk.com

Hi @Anonymous,

Just as a follow up, this issue was resolved with AutoCAD 2018.1.2 update which was released in May 2018.

This sorting with the FIND feature in Windows 8 and 10 did not affect Windows 7 users.
