Helo. How to sort or switch the order of machines in wirtualbox window 4.02. In older version it was sort automatic.Now new macines is added on the end of list.

Control + up or down allows you to move a vm in the list

Problem is still actual.
Is there a way to sort the list of virtual machines in alphabetical order (either automatic or manual).

Problem is still actual.

As mentioned above: you can sort the VM list manually by using ctrl-up / down.

I hated the alphabetical list. I am very pleased that you can now put them wherever you want.

It used to be sorted by name and like the original behavior as i maintain a lot of Linux distro and release.

Having an option to sort by name or as per xml entry sequence would be fantastic.

The option to sort by name still exists - except that you now do it manually. Since this only ever needs to be done once (or never, if you do it as each VM is created), I fail to see why you expect it to be automated.

I expect that an upcoming version of the GIU will allow the VM list to be displayed hierarchically, in which case discussions about flat list sorting will be largely moot.

Would be nice for me too !
