    Is there any way to have the materials be sorted in alphabetic order in the Materials Tab?

    I use the material manager and dock it into my layout rather than the material tab at the bottom as the material manager can have folders and filters.

    So your materials you still see in the Object Inspector tab, but you only access your materials in the Material Manager. Thanks for your note. But still odd that the materials cannot be arranged better in the Object Inspector area.

    My personal preference is to dock both the material manager and the font manager in one of my saved layouts. This is my own I used most often for design. 

    I like ot have my scene tree much larger on the left so I can see more of it, I have pinned the project manager and the scene manager to the left. I have added the material and font manager to my layout as well as the object tool bar which saves me have to switch to the transform tab in the object inspector as well.

    Yeah that looks smart. Thanks for sharing.
    Hey I posted another post a week ago, got no response back, but is there a way to lock a Take ID (in the sequence) so that there is no way to accidently move or delete anything in the Take ID group? I have a credit Take ID and I happened to accidently move a couple of pages. But I did notice it before I had to play it.
