Post From: Charts not staying minimized in Chartbook

as the order of the charts in which they will show up when you start Sierra Chart depends on the order of the charts as defined in "Window >> Windows and Chartbooks". You would want to set this up so that the windows that are minimized are at the bottom (the chart at the top will be opened last, so it will be the furthest "on top".

Support, I don't find this to be the case. I find that Sierra reads the list from top to bottom. So the charts at the bottom of the list are displayed on top of charts higher in the list. This Window >> Windows and Chartbooks is, according to Sierra documents the Z order for displaying charts. I just tested this again and if I put minimized charts at the bottom of the list, they always display minimized but sitting on top of non-minimized charts.

So, if you want your minimized charts hidden behind your more important charts, then put the minimized charts at the top of the list not the bottom. At least this is how SC works for me.

FYI, my MDI Child Window is set to, Minimize to Bottom
