Alan, yes, IO-86 causes the problem also here. It has an extremly low inclination and will not be audible at your location at all.(the same here). If one (or more) of the selected sats has no AOS/LOS time because it is either always (geostationary sats) or never audible the CountDown window will no sort the sats by AOS/LOS but only alphabetically. If you have such situation check the selected satellite one by one - as you did - and remove the satellite that causes the problem or add it to another group. To fix the issure will take a bit more time.

Found it. IO-86 was the problem. I removed IO-86 and the list now sorts AOS/LOS.

Interesting....
I tried each of the pre-programmed groups to see if each would sort. The groups are standard, FM Repeaters, Linear 1 and Linear 2.
All would sort, except for FM Repeaters. FM Repeaters would not sort for AOS/LOS.
Sats in the FM group include SO-50, AO-85, AO-91, LILIACAST-2 (not included in my custom list), and IO-86. Could one or more of these Sats be the problem?

Hi Erich. Thanks for the response.
Here is my custom list. I believe these are all Low Earth Sats..
AO-07, AO-73, AO-91, AO-92, CAS-4A, CAS-4B, IO-86, SO-50, XW-2A, XW-2B, XW-2C, XW-2F.
I believe some may not have complete data sets....could that be causing the failure to sort? If so, how do I identify the culprit?

Hi Alan, check whether one of the selected sats is a geostationary one, e.g. QO-100, which does not rise and set but is continously in range. When I add QO-100 to the 'Selected' list, the Countown window does no longer sort the sats by their AOS/LOS times (but in alphabetical order). My friend LX1BB reports the same observation.

Here is the path the SatPC32 installer defaulted to. - :\Program Files (x86)\SatPC32\SatPC32ISS.exe"
Another observation. When I use one of the groups included in the SatPC package, it sorts in the order of AOS. However, when I customize a group by adding new Sats, the customized list no longer sorts??

Works fine here,
the only thing I can think of is that, I hope SatPC32 is NOT installed under any Windows folders like Program Files 32 or Documents etc.

New to Satellites and SatPC32.
Question - On the “CountDown” accessory, there are two buttons for sorting the list. I prefer to select “AOS/LOS Times”. When I select, the list stays in the “Ident/Letters” order.
What am I doing wrong? _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
