Do you mean the toolpath list? You can arrange it any order you like using the arrows or dragging and dropping. There's no way to automatically sort them by last update or creation date and I'm not sure why you would want to.

Jerry,
If you start the toolpath name with "1" for the first cut...Then "2" etc. ....then when you go to "Cut Part" in SB3.....they will display in the correct order of the cuts in Win 7 folder when it's opened.
Likewise, if you want to run each toolpath separately using the same cutter, then adding an a,b,c,etc. will also display in the folder in order of cut in 7.
That's despite having the cuts in order in VCP toolpath list.
They DO need to be in correct order in VCP if you're combining or merging toolpaths!
