Problems Preventing Column Order from Saving in Zotero 7

gplee85
I manually placed the column order with drag & drop. However, the column order was restored to the original one when I reopened zotero. I think there is no option to restore the column order in Advanced Preference section.

    Are other settings being saved? E.g., window size?

    Thanks for your comment, but I don't understand where I can set the window size. Why do I have to do that to set column order?

    Usually, I adjust the preference for zotero style in the "Config Editor" of "Advanced Preference". In there, I found no specific preference for forcing column order persistence. Also, I found that the only option to set the sorting column in the "extensions.zotero.sortColumnPersistent = true" setting in Config Editor only saves the sort order within the column, not the column order between the columns.

    I’m just asking a debugging question. When you change other things in Zotero — explicit settings or things like resizing the main window or other panes within the window — are those changes saved across restarts?

    Zotero remembers which columns I wanna see, but not their manually changed order after reopening.

    Edit: As far as I can see, the column added by Plugin "Reading List" is affected especially.
    Testresult:
    - If I place it as the very first column, after reopening Zotero it appears as second column.
    - After reopening Zotero again, without any changes, it is placed as third column.
    - Will stay at third column now, as long as I don't make changes.

    Thoughts: Maybe something to do with plugin loading times?
