I am getting worried at my name appearing so often, but I am using PPL for many hours each day, so I apologise for so many questions.
Q1:
This is only a tentative suggestion/question.
Whe using the Watch Window with a lot of variables when inside GameProc or SprProc, the parameters are often well separated (Msg$,wParam,lParam) due to alphabetical order.

Does anybody else see any benefit in bringing them together (out of order at the top), is it possible and is it something that you might consider, kornalius, if it was requested by enough people ?
Or perhaps an 'option' to do so to suit everybody.

Q2:
is there any symbol character that can be used on the front of user variable names (to bring them all to the top of the list (NOT 'a')? I tried several but got syntax errors.

A1. You mean, not have them sorted? I can certainly add this option, in fact I thought I had made this modification a little while ago.

A2. Nope, not possible. In fact when the sorting is removed, the func parameters will appear at the top. More precisely, the variables will appear in order they have been created.

Please be aware I don't want anybody upset, please make it an option so as to cover everybody.
And thank you.

As I was one of the people asking for the variables to be sorted, if you are going to revert to the "create" order, please cater for the option to enable the variables to be sorted.

It is an option and they are sorted by default, don't worry, why would I remove a feature? :)
