Watching Metastock format data in Amibroker

#1
Hi,
I am watching metastock format data in Amibroker. However, the data is coming according to symbol. Is there any way through which the scrips will be sorted by name ?

Currently, I am seeing like :

100003
100004
100005

I want to see like this :

ABB
ACC

etc....

I hope I am clear.

Should be.

The symbol you mentioned is called ticker in Ami. The other one is call (Full)Name.

1. Click [Menu]->[Symbol]->[Find] OR F3.
Choose Ticker Or Name to sort whichever you want.

2. Your symbol list window should show both ticker and fullname, you can shift which column you want.

3. Click [Menu]->[Tools]->[Preferences..] then "Miscellaneous" Tab
Turn on the check button on
- add full name to ticker in ticker box
- add full name to ticker in tree
- full-name tooltips in symbol tree

Then you will see the name beside the ticker.
