@PeterJames Please note that this ordering is coincidental, not intentional, and could change at any time. I'm not going to go deep here but, in several places on the site, lack of apparent sorting (and defaulting to something you might observe as logical) has to do with how SQL Server handles a missing (or non-deterministic) ORDER BY, and how it handles that can change based on a variety of factors.

| Mar 6 at 14:44 | comment | added | PeterJames | It appears that the visible and hidden communities under the Settings / Hide communities option are in alphabetical order now. I notice that yours is not in alphabetical order, so there seems to have been a change in this listing at some point. Is your listing in alphabetical order now too? | |
