stack order

I thought I'd write again since this problem is becoming more difficult to deal with the current volatility in the stock market.

When a stock is graphed FM tracks closing prices and the market activity of the day beginning the date range is not included. However if one were to sort by %gain-F the sorting algorithm uses the market activity of the beginning date and often (usually, these days) displays the charts in what appears to be the wrong order.

To compound the problem stocks in reports are listed in order of the chart stack and the reports always include the beginning date activity so if the charts and reports are set with the same date range there is nearly no chance the order of stocks in the report will be right if the charts are %gain-F sorted.

It seems to me that both reports and charts should use the data in the same way,
This would greatly simplify FM's use. I still think FM is an impressive program but this feature is a real thorn in my side.
