Hi,

 

Is anyone able to explain me the current sort order of this category?

It seems a total random sort order without any logical behind it.

Can we sort it by token name to make it more consitent?

So…there is a sort order.  First sort is by currency. Currency of the top 3 is “Belgium - Telephone Tokens”.  Currency of the last 9 is “unspecified”.  Within those two groups the sort order is by (first) reference.

The top 3 have Currency filled in “* Tokens * Belgium - Telephone Tokens” and that is an old system that is being phased out, from what Katermurr told me a few months ago. Once that is removed they should display in Unspecified Currency if the Currency field is set to Unknown.

 

I have submitted a request to change all three to unknown.
