REPEATABLE BUG and CRASHES in Documents dropdown
1) Click on Documents.
2) Arrange columns in order Type, Name, Date.
3) Click on heading to sort by Type.
4) The column order switches to Type, Date, Name.
5) Rearrange to Type, Name, Date.
6) Expand the Notes section.
7) Shift-click on heading to sort by Name.
8) The column order again switches to Type, Date, Name.
PLUS: so far every single one of my attempts to do anything at all in the Documents dropdown has ended with a crash within approximately 1-3 minutes.

I was able to reproduce the behavior regarding tab/category switching you describe. Regarding the app crashing when in the Documents drop down. Do you have to be actively using the Documents drop down for 1-3 min straight for the crash to occur? What are you doing it it? I'd like to see if I can reproduce the crash

Well, I went there to open a note file, but I never got that far. The first thing I saw was this:
Not the best choice of defaults, if you ask me. So I had to start by widening the columns, and rearranging and sorting them. Then columns started switching places, and the sorting behaved in other ways I didn't expect, so I had to spend a long time simply experimenting and trying to figure out what was expected behaviour and what wasn't. Consequently, the main thing I did was sort in various ways with the columns in various orders.
The first crash came early, then they kept coming every few minutes. I eventually figured out both how the sorting was intended to work, and how to reproduce the bug above, but I never really noticed a pattern for the crashes. Possibly, but I'm unsure about this, they may all have come when I stopped clicking and took a short break to consider the next step. I believe the last few happened in the background after switching to Safari to write down the steps (using Spaces, and leaving the dropdown open).
I don't know how many crashes I had altogether, but they were quite a few. I seem to have five Apple crash logs, if they're of any use to you.

This will be fixed in 5.0a SR-3.
Hi fgh
Just to advise that I don't get this behaviour (column order switching or crashing) on Windows
Looks like a Mac-specific issue.

Just looking at this again and I am seeing something strange - not sure if it is the same as you are seeing, fgh
If I start off with the Handouts section open (it works the same in all sections - it's just easier to see with a few documents) and ordered in ascending alphabetical order of name
I then do a "shift-click" on the Name column and it resorts to be alphabetically descending - which is fine.
However, if I then "shift-click" again on the Name column it sorts by date!
If I keep going it just cycles round.
Graham
A version of that behaviour confused me at the start, but I believe it's intentional. What it actually does the last time, isn't 'sorting by Date', but removing all sorting by Name (which leaves it sorted by the default order, which happens to be Date). Look at the little arrow and you'll see what's going on.
The thing is, if you've sorted by Name, you can't just shift-click on Date to switch the sorting to that, but you have to first shift-click once, or more likely twice, again on Name, to remove the sorting arrow from that column, then you can shift-click on Date.
The reason, presumably, is to give the option to sort first by Type, then, within the Type, on Date, and then, within the same Date, on Name. Only, there seems to be another bug here: while shift-clicking on the third column does add, turn and remove the little arrow, nothing actually happens with the sorting.

Ok. That makes sense, thanks
Yes, but it seems slightly bizarre!
This would be nice
I see what you mean[:)]
Thanks for the insights

Bump.

The crash has also been resolved. I am not sure if the fix went into 5.0a SR-3. If not, it will be fixed in the next release.
I am able to reproduce this issue. I will report this to Development.
