Hi,
>>"the sorting is also a mystery to me."
Easy, the order is the creation order {new created/imported to the top}
or what a user set as last as order by scalelistedit
or the order of your system scale list (which is also a user editable list, OPTIONS / User preferences / [..scale list..]
This is a real SYSTEM-list, saved in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD.
(My) simple rule: If you don't know why and how, don't touch it.
If you know why and how, keep standards original, don't change the name or definition,
don't use different scale names with the same definition side by side (your first issue in question is the perfect answer "why")
>>"When I execute a Reset, the list is all sorted differently. "
Like the order of your System scale list.
>>"My default list does not appear to be sorted in any intelligible way."
Should be
1. 1:1
2. your scales..in your order
3. the rest of the system default list.
>>"The main problem of course is if the viewport is only displaying objects and the current annotation scale"
Yes, but in your post above you are talking about viewport standard scale ONLY.
In this case Pendean was right (i hate this unclean way, ignoring instead to make your files clean.
So, you also have annotation object refer to these unwanted scales, than you have to do more,
>>"but some of them are on Half Scale_1 and others are on HALF SCALE"
I f ACAD created this ()new) name in your file, the scale definition is different you the other scale.
>>"they no longer appear in the viewport. "
Sure. Swap the scales and delete the unwanted*
>>"So I find as a dept we're resorting to "show annotative objects - always"
for working with files from outside, not a bad choice.
