Unexpected behaviour with segment state (Auto-propagate forward only)
It looks like sorting for repeated segments in the filter might be reversed for the next build.

A bit of "Hide and seek" (here still rather easy) for anybody with the setting "Auto-propagate forward only" (in my humble opinion only a kind of emergency mode if things go wrong, but at the same time the default setting in CT, if I'm not mistaken).
tre
Yes, that's true, but only for auto-propagate in both directions (although in combination with "Display current segment context" this argument loses a bit of validity). And it is only about sorting the filtered results in their natural order (assuming this is not easy to code, but seeing the necessity).
CafeTran already performs the identical segments grouping in the filter so the whole filter view can never be sorted in the order of appearance of the filtered segments. Otherwise, it would end up with identical segments being shown separated between other identical segments. I don't think it really matters in what order you filter the repeated segments since they are taken out of their contexts. Only the identical subgroups might get additionally sorted for convenience in some future update. But that's easier said than done in terms of the filter speed with big projects containing several glued documents with lots of repetitions.

Depending
on your settings, this might mean that segments are treated and filled
differently (eventually arbitrarily) depending on filtered or unfiltered
view. Really?
Else:
What then about a filter
"Sort by appearance" besides "Sort alphabetically" and "Sort by length"
(though this appears a bit strange)?
> Filter view: Repeated and propagated segments
The sorting is as expected in the name of the filter.
tre
What about to avoid this "faulty" sorting in the filter (IIRM I already noted this in another thread)?
The other thing is that no segment with the false "Gesamt" is being confirmed above, so I wonder why segments are being set back to it. It simply should not be the case, should it?
Your confusion comes from the fact that you use "Auto-propagate forward only" option with a filter where the order of the filtered segments may not the same as their real order.

Segment state „Translated“
Filter view: Repeated and propagated segments
Segments:
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Now I change the first one:
Total Summen
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
I see that the others don't change (should they? it would be nice to configure this behaviour), but in the next segment, I can enter the context match by pressing Ctrl-Option-4.
Total Summen
Total Summen
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Now I am in segment 3, but I see that I made an error. So I use the "Move to the previous segment§ command and – surprise, surprise – the segments look like this:
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Total Gesamt
Notabene: "Gesamt" is not part in any TM, "summe" was and is the exact/context match, and it is sufficient to go back into the 2nd segment to switch back also the 1st.
This behaviour is a lttile bit irritating, no matter whether I have "Auto-propagate forward only" activated or not (indeed I do). With "Auto-propagate forward only" deactivated this does not happen.
