Backtest report trade list entries in random date order

Hi,
Suddenly, without me changing anything, the backtest date entries are listed randomly, not chronologically like they used to be. It's no big deal, but does my head in when a whole lot of losses are grouped together when they shouldn't be.
Thought my stuff was corrupted so wiped existing Amibroker and Norgate Data, reinstalled the lot. No difference.
Maybe can't see for looking so help would be appreciated.
In the Backtester settings ticked Trade List.
Thanks in advance,

In order to sort results by entry date you just have to click with your mouse on Date column. You will see arrow showing up. Up arrow -> sorted ascending. Down arrow -> sorted descending.

857

But also you can sort programmatically by using SetSortColumns function. Just add below line to your backtest code.

// sorting backtest results by entry date (third column)
SetSortColumns(3);// positive numbers -> ascending order

Know about the up/down arrows but the one I want is the coding for it.
Thanks for the info and replying so quickly!
