I'm adding a folder into BeerSmith that is titled BJCP Guidelines, with sub folders within it. Like this.
The smal window towards the left (My Receipes) has them listed in numerical order.

1. Light Lager
2. Pilsner
etc.
10. American Ale
11. English Brown
etc.
20. Fruit Beer

The bigger window in the center of the screen is showing them like this.

1. Light Lager
10. American Ale
11. English Brown
etc.
19. Strong Ale
2. Pilsner
20. Fruit Beer
How do I get this changed in the bigger window?

Thanks...
 
I have the same problem with XL. Number them '01' '02', etc, with a leading zero.
 
Ding, ding, ding!  When you look at the folder names as strings, they sort in alphabetical order, hence 1., 10.,...  The folder names are not stored as numbers.  This is always a pain for programmers.  I learned a long time ago to do the leading '0' idea.  You just need to plan ahead: do I need 2 digits or 3?  Then start with 01 or 001.

Stupid computer should do what I want not what I say  :eek:
 
Hi,
  I think putting a space in front of the single digits also works.

Computers are very stupid.  They only do what you say, not what you mean.
