CONTROLS - Copy/Paste : inverted pasting order !

T

teo

Hallo

after having placed several controls on my form
(in example Buttons) placed in vertical order, like this
Button1
Button2
Button3

I decide to copy/paste them to save time.

But on pasting they arrive in inverted order, like is
Button6
Button5
Button4

and not like this (as I would like)
Button4
Button5
Button6

So I'm compelled to rearrange them manually.

Considering that I usually copy/paste tens of little controls,
(little buttons + label + textbox...)
and have to reorder them all,
the advantage of the copy/paste feature is a... disadvantage.

Am I missing anything?
Any workaround?

Problem surely detect on 2005 and 2008

I consider this a bug because the behavior is not what you would expect and
there is no reason for the reversed order. You may want to report it at

thanks for the answer, but i'm not going to report it
because i think they already know it
(due to the fact it is a pretty big issue and it is at least
3 years old)
