Sort > Alphabetically: Sorting Items in a Folder by Name

If you need to organize overlays, markers, and other items within a folder, Scribble Maps provides a Bulk Style Change option through the Sort > Alphabetically tool. This feature allows you to arrange folder contents in alphabetical order, making it easier to locate and manage items in the Layers Panel.

Add the markers to a folder

2. At the top of the Layers Panel, click on the Folder Icon displaying the tooltip: "Add Group".
   You will see the folder added to the Layers Panel.
    
3. Click and drag each overlay’s row into the folder.
   The folder now holds a set of overlays, which is considered a Group.

   To learn more about grouping overlays, see; Grouping markers/elements by using folders.

5. Under the "Bulk" heading > "Sort" subheading, click on the link: "Alphabetically".
    
6. Under the "Select Group" heading, click the button: "Select".
    
7. Click to select the folder from the list.
    
8. Click the "Sort Alphabetically" button.

10. In the top-right corner of the Toolbox window, click on the "X" button, to close the window.

Note: This is meant to sort alphabetically, not numerically. A common misconception is that numbers will sort from 1 to 20, when it fact it will sort, 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20.
