In SFV4, I could sort a watchlist (scan) by several conditions (rules) sequentially to order it with the symbols meeting the combination of the highest priority conditions to the top. Is it (or will it be) possible to do this in SFV5?
Thanks,

Yes you can still do this in SF5. Simply drag each condition to the WatchList and choose Condition Column. Click on the column headers to sort.

You can no longer sort by number of conditions passing, but you can simulate this with a combo condition.

If I am understanding the issue correctly, a combo condition is not a perfect simulation as a three column survey will not order T-T-T's, T-T-Fs, T-F-Ts, T-F-Fs, F-T-Ts, F-T-Fs, F-F-Ts, F-F-F but only put the T-T-Ts at the top.
In order to simulate the feature one would been to compose the binary equivalent as a number or string value and sort on it. However the visual aspect of the column lights is lost. Creating an indicator that produces a decimal number that represents a binary string as in 111, 110, 101, 100, 011, 010, 001, 000 to mimic the multi-column ordering effect.
