SYMPTOMS
In WINS Manager, in the Static Mappings and Show Database lists, the entries are not correctly alphabetized.



CAUSE
This problem has two causes:


 * 1) NetBIOS name entries with extended characters do not sort correctly.
 * 2) NetBIOS names of type 1B are sorted near the top of the list.



WORKAROUND
If the NetBIOS name entries contain extended characters, there is no workaround. However, if you are only sorting NetBIOS names of type 1B, you can select a different sort order and choose Sort by Computername again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
