I just remembered, and verified this.....the above discussion might be so....but in the indicator list for the chart, the ORDER of the indicators is changing from what I entered.

And, then the toolbar matches the new order the next time the chart is loaded....so, while z-order may be important, I don't think it is causing this problem.

Something in Ninja is changing the order of the indicators in the list (Control I), perhaps when I shut Ninja down and it saves the Workspace (?), and then when the chart loads again, the order the indicators are loaded match the NEW list, which is not what I entered.

Any ideas?

When I asked Ninja before I didn't get any solution. Just "that is the way it works".

(this is NT7)

Correct, charts get loaded in random order as well. As they said, it is just the way it works. You have to keep your own ordered lists to take control.

On first glace it looks like there are certain conditions where Ninja automatically re-orders the Control-I (indicator list) to alphabetical order. Then the next time the chart loads, the indicators are loaded in that order, and then the toolbar controls are out of order also.

When the indicators in the list (Control-I) remain in the order I set them, the toolbar controls load correctly (that is, the order I need them).

Since at this moment I don't have time to research the z-order nuances, I'm going to rename my indicators so that when ninja resorts the list the indicators will still be in the order I want them to load.

=================================================

Probably Ninja (or one of their coders) considers this a nice feature but I would not expect them to drop this "feature" on NT7, though I may ask.

OK, well, the Chart indicator list (Control I) is being randomly altered, not sorted alphabetically, by Ninja.

So my last post won't work.

Charts, indicators and workspaces all have this 'special' feature..

I guess they consider it a "bonus"?

It will be a long time before I port my ton of code to NT8....still I hope it is better, at least in so many small ways that are inconvenient in NT7.
