This used to work in v 1282, the last one I used before upgrading to 1313 yesterday. Say you have 6 windows in the chartbook. Select any one of them except the top left one. If you do Window > Tile Horizontally | Vertically, the selected window should end up at the top left corner. This is universally accepted & expected windows behavior. However, this is no longer the case. This command now arranges windows by their chart number, which is not helpful at all. A chart number is just a id for the chart, not the order in which I want to see them. With windows expected behavior, I can "kind of / sort of" arrange them, and use Window > Tile Horizontally | Vertically to perfectly arrange them. Can this be reverted back to the usual behavior please? I am using windows 8.1 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-21 15:03:12

There is no bug here. Refer to the updated documentation here for how these commands work: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_WindowMenu.html#TileHorizontally There definitely shall be no changes to this and the functionality is improved.

Well this definitely changed between 1282 and 1313, because this is not how it worked in 1282. The order in which the child windows which are part of the main Sierra Chart window, are tiled is according to the order they are set in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks . So if you want want to change the child window tiling order, change the order of those windows in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks and select Tile Vertically again.
So within the main Sierra Chart window, the operating system ordering (not how it is arranged, but which is ordered first to last - which is determined by the selection order of the charts before the horizontal / vertical ordering command is executed) is overridden by what is shown in the Window >> Windows and Chartbooks. I didn't set them. They simply got set in the order in which the charts were created. In other words, charts will always be ordered by their default chart ids, unless I mess with the ordering in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks. How is this "improved"?

Yes, we do know that it changed, but the way that it works now is improved and we will not change it. This lets you control the ordering through the Windows and Chartbooks window. If you do not think it is improved, we cannot help you. We will not respond further. We are closing this thread. We made a major improvement, to solve a problem that has been asked about for more than 10 years when we finally determined how the operating system orders the windows when tiling them. And based on this you found it difficult before: "kind of / sort of" arrange them,
