Since updating the program to version 9.5 from 8.5 pretty much my entire library is out of order. The folders on the side panel are in reverse alphabetical order and when I open the individual files the pages are out of order. The cover page is either the last page and it's in reverse or the cover page is in the middle somewhere. The comics also appear to be in a random order on the remote app. Any ideas of why this happened and how I might be able to fix it? I love this program but it's currently unusable like this. I'm using Vista with an external hard drive.

I think we might have located the issue causing your sorting problems. As it turns out, the sorting function we're using in YACReader uses a third party DLL on Windows. If the DLL is not present, the system will automatically fall back to using a Windows function which was introduced in Windows 7. As this function is not present in older Windows versions like Vista, sorting silently fails.
The good news is that if this is the cause of the problems (waiting for confirmation from Luis that this library is indeed missing in our installer) we probably can solve this problem by simply adding the library to our installer.

My answers are not necessarily official YACReader statements but mostly represent my own opinion in technical matters.

Alright cool. Did you guys change your sorting function from 8.5 to 9.5? Because it worked perfectly before I updated.
