RE: [amibroker] Re: watchlist sorting (vers 4.91.1)

TJ: Three people reported that sort alpha [sort the SYMBOLS inside the watch
list] doesn't work.

I'd noted that the TLS files were unchanged and that was true after Save All
and after restart.
Invoking sort alpha on large lists pops up the hourglass momentarily, so the
proc is obviously called [still a stub?].

For me, more watchlists and the ability to retain the original [TLS or AA]
sort order when populating them are big improvements, but I see little need
for sort alpha.

Grumpy

Of course it WORKS. It sorts the SYMBOLS inside the watch list.
The TLS file won't be changed until you SAVE THE DATABASE.
The disk files ARE NOT WRITTEN until you save the database.
If disk files were written constantly AmiBroker would be slow as hell.
Watch list operations are optimized for speed and operate in-memory.
Files are not touched. The same applies to creating .TLS files
externally - they won't be read at all, until database is (re)loaded.

In general case you should NOT touch files inside "Watchlists" folder
if AmiBroker is currently working on given database, because AB will
overwrite this files anyway at save. The only safe thing you can do
is to create new .TLS file.
