Metadata column order, again

Why does the column sort order change in the project panel when opening new bin views or changing the schema. I have read the "save a workspace" stuff. That is not reliable nor useful..

Additionally when opening different schemas I need the column order I set for that metadata display to repeat exactly as I had originally ordered it. No matter the workspace, the number of bins, etc.It is a complete waste of time to have to re-sort every time I change a schema.

This is a very logical (almost inherent in the whole concept of schemas)

Thoughts?

Configure the metadata as you want, then in the metadata display panel, save the setting. The new saved setting should appear in the presets dropdown window.

Now open a new bin and the metadata should be displayed as the saved preset calls for:

Just ran into this issue also. Can`t be so hard to fix this.

Would this be considered a bug fix or feature request?

It will recall the correct columns, but not in the correct order. Any columns you select beyond the defaults will recall on the far right, even if they were the first column when you saved.

I have the same obnoxious problem as you. You setup a metadata display for your project and then any time you open a bin in a new tab or window - OR - close and reopen the project, all of the columns resize and place themselves however they see fit and ignore your configuration. Reset to saved workspace helps but it's pretty lame fix to the issue.

This issue is really annoying. Adobe, how do we keep a saved metadata display from resetting every time a project is closed and then reopened? Also occurs when you open up a folder in the project panel in a new tab/window. Would this be considered a bug fix or feature request?

What does "opening new bin view" mean. Just...opening a bin? Or something else?

holding a modifier key to open an instance. Anytime I reopen a project or change the folder (as just indicated) the sort order is not the same.

OK, that's just opening a bin. Adding the word "view" confused me, because you don't "open" a view, you "change" it (from Icon to List, for example).

So you're saying that if a bin is sorted by Column B when it's closed, reopening will show it sorted by Column A?
