Sequence of app properties

Hi,

I know this from my other apps: the appearance sequence of app settings is determined by the sequence of the definition in the <settings> tag in the resources file.

I want to define now two app settings which have a strong relation but reside in an overwritten resources file (which means the settings shall only be available for a set of watches). If I double check the sequence of app settings in the 'App Settings Editor' it is mixed up. Is there anything I can do to get the order forced?

The settings of your overriden resources get added after the base resource settings if they don't exist in the base resource settings file...

So adding the setting to the base resource file is the only way to force it in the way you want (in the middle of other settings?), this of course means that the setting will also be available on the watches where you don't want the setting to be available. If you have a similar setting on those watches you could just override the Title resource for the setting though so that it has another text that's applicable for that watch...

Cool, that worked: I have changed the name of one setting which was also available in other versions and made that setting name unique. Now it works. Thanks for your help.
