please can you do an a-z topic list

thanks

(Rather, I am regularly using FF, but sometimes use Opera on another PC.)

Well, web browsers do unusual things sometimes and i have checked your account and the list is in Alphabetical order when I look at it, so therefore, I have to assume it might be the browser.

I will investigate and let you know.

Hmmm, checked with Opera (v9) and that gave same result as before. I've put Opera v10 on another machine so will give that a go when I find time.

Also tried Netscape v7.2 but that fails when it tries to open your website.

I tried it several times, looking at different pages prior to attempting to open www.mumsnet.com (at which point my firewall reports connections to highbury.dsc.net, port 80) and then, without warning, browser simply closes, no actual error message at all !

I have Netscape 9 on the laptop, but will see if I get the any page displayed with Netscape 7.1.

Upgraded to Firefox 3.5.3 and still no change.

Just noticed nannynick posted a screenshot, and I noticed it was different to what I had seen when using Advanced Search.

I see that if using the new layout, compared with "Classic" then the list is alphabetic if looks under "By Time" and then choose "by topic" then an alphabetic list is displayed.

Previously I had been using Classic mode (which I will probably return to) and the layout is quite different. Low on the page are two lists, the left being the full complement of topics, the right list empty initially, but is the 'Selected topics'.

Now, my query relates to the left hand list. If it is easy to produce the list alphabetically (as is shown when not using "Classic") then it should equally be possible in Classic mode.

Hope this is clearer, if there had been any confusion before.
