Find and Replace Dialog Box issue

[Anonymous]

Recently my Autocad 2015 Find and Replace Dialog Box does not sort when I click on the desired column. It used to but I do not know why it stopped working. Is there any system variable that controls this feature or is it a bug in AutoCAD 2015.

Appreciate any help as I use this feature in my work.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

sorry, I can only confirm that.

AutoCAD 2014 was able to sort the result, 2015, 2016 and 2017 not. At least I have not found a way to get it working.

Hi @Anonymous,

I tried this in my AutoCAD 2015 and sure enough it DOES work if I click on it a few times. Hmmm...not sure what the magic is here. Can you try it again and see if you click multiple times if it starts to work?

I try to click it multiple times and it still does not work. But the next day, it works fine with one click. Issue has been intermittent with no rhyme or reason. Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

I just revisited this today and after a reboot mine worked the first time too!  If you find any action that seems to initiate the lack of sort capability, please add another post.

I am running into the same issue as well and I tried it on a different account

There are few posts over the year and no solution as of yet. One mentioned that Adesk support told them that it would be fixed in 2018 hopefully...
