All of the tutorial/sample stacks I have been using have all had the controls in layer order, so I didn't use it. Since I had no idea that it created indenting (yes, not mentioned anywhere in the User Guide) I saw no reason to. When the accidental double-click worked, I am sure I tried single, but obviously not very effectively.

Correct. But I have been confused over what rev saves and what it doesn't. I thought it was resetting the width of the Card Controls List in Application Browser, but it was actually the individual column widths (or at least the Layer column).

When you say "rev's preferences" do you mean the OS Preferences available from the Revolution menu, or is there another set somewhere? I can't see any references to such things as sort mode in the former.
