Hello!

Could anyone help me with a rather annoying issue with Smartling? I often work with large projects containing multiple pages in Smartling, and I don't understand what sorting principle is used in its web editor. It often changes string order when I move between pages. Moreover, when I log out and then back in, string order changes again. Sometimes it's possible to restore previous string order by refreshing, but often it doesn't help.

Hello!

Could anyone help me with a rather annoying issue with Smartling? I often work with large projects containing multiple pages in Smartling, and I don't understand what sorting principle is used in its web editor. It often changes string order when I move between pages. Moreover, when I log out and then back in, string order changes again. Sometimes it's possible to restore previous string order by refreshing, but often it doesn't help.

I know that I can sort strings alphabetically or by length, but it isn't an option when there are strings that form some meaningful cluster together.

This constant string re-sorting is a big issue when working with a large project because I have to recheck all pages multiple times to make sure I didn't miss anything. Sometimes new strings appear on the previous pages that I've already looked through.

Could someone possibly help me to solve this issue?
Thank you!
