If Notes 8.5.1.x roaming users change the sort order for a column in either the Inbox or in a folder, upon restarting Notes these views revert to their default sort order (oldest messages on top). CauseThis issue is known to occur if the workspace roaming feature is enabled in Notes 8.5.1.x. To confirm whether workspace roaming is enabled, see technote #1405295. This issue has been reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# RBEO7Y4T5Z and a fix is under investigation. A workaround is to temporarily disable the workspace roaming feature. Workaround1. Ensure that Retain View Column sorting is enabled in the Notes UI. Select File > Preferences > Basic Notes Client Configuration > Additional Options. "Retain View Column sorting" should have a checkmark beside it. 2. Add DISABLE_WORKSPACE_ROAMING=1 to the local notes.ini. 3. Restart Notes.
