With the stamps you can sort eg by Stanley Gibbons number. If you have numbered all stamps of a series (the same pairing name) in the correct order and the entire set (series) is also present with the correct connecting name, then all stamps used to be displayed neatly in order, with at the end the series and FDCs and so on.

Now it is the case that the stamp with number 1 is shown, then the series, then stamps number 2, 3 etc.

Seal 1 has the lowest SG number, 2, 3 and of course the subsequent numbers.

In the set (series) the SG number is entered with the lowest and the highest number, linked via the # sign. It appears that the # and everything after it is not considered for the display, so the set is simply considered to have the lowest SG catalog number, which means that the set ends up in the display immediately after the first stamp with that SG number.

Some experimentation with the SG number of the set will confirm the suspicion that the # sign does not work as intended.

Does this also apply to other numbering (NVPH, Michel, etc)?
Wasn't this the case before? So you want the stamps to be shown first and immediately afterwards the corresponding set.

Tammo,

Only found it with SG numbers (duplicatable), but did not test any further. Will do that tomorrow.

Previously (earlier than a few days ago) the display was: first the loose stamps, then the series.

Canadian user asked me why this is no longer the case, because that was the desired order until a week ago.

Selected the year, then SG as the display order, then the search again just to be sure.

Same behavior if you sort by Michel, Yvert, Scott or NVPH number, so # doesn't work there either.

When sorting on "Standard" it works as usual, so first the individual stamps, then the series.
