Can no longer sort article subscriptions at all about vienna-rss

Have you set the View → Order By to Manual?

It might be that exporting/importing feeds via OPML may not preserve the order.

Issue #1732 might be related.

Thanks!

Hah hah hah. That's it! I was only checking general Settings. I probably had that checked in the previous version (Vienna 3.7.4). I checked and I did. I exported all the folders from that version and re-imported them, deleting the previous ones first. Now they are all in the original order I had them in. One thing though. All articles are marked unread now.

Is there a way I can reuse the original data in the update now without importing it so I can preserve the play status? Probably not because I just updated from within the old version and all articles are now shown as unread. I think this would require a new feature.

I have been having the same problem. The suggestion to set "Order By" to 'manual' only partially works for me.
Vienna randomly resets "Order By" to 'name' and I have to switch back to manual and then drag my feed folders back into the order that I had them in.
This is the second time this week that I've had to restore my preferred order.

I have this same problem, especially after an update.

That might be part of my problem, I had 'check for newer versions of Vienna on start up' checked.
I assumed it would just notify me when there were updates available. If it's automatically installing the updates rather than letting me know when one is available, then that could be the cause of my resets.
I've unchecked it, maybe my manual ordering will stay selected now.

I set it for 'Check for newer versions of Vienna on start up' and I think it might be automatically installing the updates too. You know what's even worse? It marks all episodes as 'unread', which defeats the purpose of an aggregator. Time for two bug reports.

It has alphabetized everything again, disregarding the custom organization that I had done - even though "Check for newer versions" was unchecked.
I'm out of ideas.
