@Keywords Auto-Group Sort

[StanRohrer]

Left panel / Categories / @Keywords / Property Panel I can turn on Auto-Group and use 1,1 as the grouping. I get 52 groups including lower case "a" and upper case "A". I've not been real good over the past 10 years with consistent capitalization of keywords so some are filed in the wrong group. How do I get a sort that combines upper "A" and lower case "a" into one group? This would result in 26 groups - 1 for each letter, not case sensitive.

I know I can drag entries from one group to the other but they revert back on the next Refresh.

How do I get @Keywords Auto-Groups that are not case sensitive?

IM 5.2.16.

@Categories mirrors the keywords in your files. If you have mixed-case keywords, @Keywords reflects that.
You can switch the Category View to use a non case-sensitive sort (Gear button in the toolbar).

What am I doing wrong? Image attached. I sort Alphabetically, not case sensitive, and still get lower "c" and upper case "C" categories in this test case.

Try the standard sort mode, not the "Alpabetical" mode (which is case-sensitive).

[StanRohrer]

There is a Alphabetically (case-sensitive) and Alphabetically sort mode but the @Keywords seemed the same for both.

The Standard mode doesn't seem to help.

Does it work for non-data driven categories?
Try to create a normal categoriey with A,a,B,b,C,c children and see if this works.
Perhaps the artificial group layer of @Keywords works different when being sorted. I have the details not available now.

Made A quick test:

Standard Sort
Grouping 1,1
Keep empty categories: no (!!!)

In your next up post I don't understand the quick test you desire.

In the post 2nd up I did a non-data driven test. I see no collapsing of c and C to one category. Screen captures attached.

You cannot fold multiple data-driven categories into one. I thought you were trying to sort AaBb... which works, at least here.

[StanRohrer]

Is this what you call a fold? In the first message I stated "I get 52 groups including lower case "a" and upper case "A". I've not been real good over the past 10 years with consistent capitalization of keywords so some are filed in the wrong group. How do I get a sort that combines upper "A" and lower case "a" into one group? This would result in 26 groups - 1 for each letter, not case sensitive."

I have:
a
A
b
B
c
C

I want:
a (containing a, A)
b
c

or:
A (containing a, A)
B
C

[Mario]

This is not possible. As I said in my initial reply, you cannot fold the auto categorizes A and a together into one category. @Keywords reflects the keywords in your files, and if you have keywords starting with A and others starting with a, that's how the keywords will show up in the @Keywords category. And the group level reflects that as well.
