Cheat Engine

When I want to sort my addresses based on active/description/address/type/value, Cheat Engine 7 will sort EVERYTHING and disregard any groups.

Is there an option somewhere to keep the groups in tact?

I don't know about you but I don't have this problem, my groups remain intact

Dang, this is really annoying. i've uninstalled and reinstalled Cheat Engine. Every time i use CE7, it destroys all the groups.

Tried deleting the whole folder before installing again? Perhaps there is an autorun script where you install CE to that 'improves' sorting

can you give an example of a table layout that will break when sorting? (And which sort button does the damage?)
(you can paste the table here)

I deleted the temp data and folder in the C:\. And it's any of the buttons on the top, description/address, etc. They all disgregard the groups, so the addresses get moved around the ENTIRE table instead of within their own groups.

So for example addresses in a group called "05" will get moved into a group called "03" if use any of the sorting options.

This doesn't happen in version 6.8 which I kept until today when I tried to uninstall everything related to CE from my PC. Having done all that, I still get the same issue.

As far as the table, it's really huge. I tried opening old versions of it from last year and the same thing happens with V.7.0.

Bump.

I had to reformat my computer for unrelated reasons, and I just installed CE 7.0 and opened my table, and it works now!

Whatever it might have been, it's gone now I guess. Sorting the table by description/address, etc. doesn't move everything out of their respective groups now.

The only thing I've added to a CE default install is my own mono script which doesn't look at table entries. It has happened on other computers also.
Here's a sample table, just 4 groups organized like so:

* Header 1
* * Child 1
* Header 2
* * Child 2

Clicking on 'Description' (by accident) will change it to this:

* Header 2
* * Child 1
* Header 1
* * Child 2

That's just a simple example. A complex table will get totally messed up, especially since I've never seen one where sorting by any of the columns would be useful.

Sorry to resurrect this topic, but I wanted to mention that:

After reformatting and downloading CE 7.0, the bug went away, but then it came back after some time.

I JUST downloaded CE 7.1 and it's gone. Sorting addresses seems to work a bit differently now?

Anyway, I guess it was an intentional change to fix it, thank you.
