Yes, we have fixed this bug in version 6.

If you are using old version 5.6, and you just want to sort alphabetically, please use the Edit menu option to sort the child topics alphabetically. This is very fast. The trick is, if you want to sort all the topics alphabetically, you must have no topics selected (use Ctrl-Click to deselect).

In version 6, we have made this easier by giving two separate menu options to sort the children or sort all the topics alphabetically.

Yes. To sort by date, you should have the date as the first item on
the topic name. For example, if you are in USA, your topic
names would be something like:

3/7/2003 Some topic

2/1/2003 Some topic 1

2/2/2003 Some topic 2

The date format should be same as set up in your Windows
control panel. Once you have date as the first item
in topic names, do this:

• Click on Edit–Sort
• Select Sort On A Date.
• A dialog appears showing topics in that sequence. If you
  think the sorting is correct, click on “Apply and Close.”

However, if you put the date as yyyy/mm/dd then you can even sort alphabetically and get away with it.

Another feature: You can automatically prefix date for the new
topic names by clicking on Tools–File Options for a document. Please
select the appropriate date prefix on the New Topics page of the Options dialog.
