workspace sorting

Not an issue just a question. Does anyone know what logic Windbg uses to
sort the workspace names in the “Open Workspace” dialog? It doesn’t seem
to make much sense. It’s not temporal or alphabetic - at least not by
the definitions I learned many years ago.

to make much sense. It’s not temporal or alphabetic - at least not by

It appears to use the order in which the workspaces names were created.
When I add a new workspace it shows up at the end of the list. WinDbg
saves the namespace information in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_USER so
it might be listing them in the same order that registry enumeration
returns them.

That’s not what I see. The latest workspace created appears to be
arbitrarily inserted in the list.

They should appear in the order they were added. However based on this
mail it has been changed to now sort alphabeticly.

That’s cool. I was just looking for the logic used. I’m not sure why
mine were inserted randomly but that’s just the way it was working.

Thanks Nathan.
