Auto sort project folder contents

Status: New

Every time I drag a new VI into a virtual folder in my project, it is placed at the bottom (if the folder was not expanded).  The first thing I do is to right click on the folder and 'Arrange by name'.  This is getting tedious.  I want to be able to set the folder to always arrange by name (or type or path).  All we need is a persistant check mark next to the 'name' option.  Most (if not all) OSes can remember these kind of settings for each folder in thier UI, LabVIEW needs to do this too.

I believe that a special patch should be issued for this issue. It really becomes anoying especially if you follow NI's recommandation to use the project window for development.

I'm glad you all agree this is an important feature.  Now tell all your friends to kudo it so we can get it up on the top priority list!
