I have read several threads. i want to record markets. I have Guardian set to auto switch markets at 5 mins from post time. But every time it brings up one click screen instead of ladders. I have trried undocking with both little blue arrows at top right of ladders. No matter what I do it always open on one click. Can anyone help me achieve it? thank you

It can only open the market on the one-click screen
You do have two options;

1) Undock the ladder and make it full screen then pin it on top, when it auto opens it'll be visible on the pinned ladder screen

2) instead of using the 'Auto Switch' option in Guardian and setting the number of seconds, create a simple rules file with the rule type 'Display a market on a Trading Screen'
Arm it to trigger once at whatever time you want it to open the market
Then on the Parameters tab you have the option of setting it to display on whatever trading screen you want including the Ladder

Thanks, but which of the two blue arrows right next to each other is the one to click on? Top one or bottom one?
Sorry thought I'd tried that before but must have used other arrow. I used bottom one, pinned, and its working now. thank you

PS i am still really confused by this annoying problem of ladders opening not in order.
I just tested it, it opened the 1730 Leaopardstown bang on 5 mins/300 seconds. But the left hand ladder is Genuine Jim priced at 9.6, the second ladder is Master Garvey priced at 8.6?!
More weird is the market overview shows Genuine Jim in green, Master Garvey in red, suggesting betangel 'knows' which is favourite. if you have any tiops for curing this please tell me cos its frustrating!

When you do this manually do you click the little box at the top with the right arrow, to sort the selections by favouritism? Or does it do that on its own?

The other Q would be does it matter? If you've got 6(?) ladders showing, the fav will be in there somewhere. And 9/10 selection 1 is the fav anyway.

Personally I would do this but add it to the safety servant rather than guardian.
That way it starts every time you open a market.
You can also add a order sorting hot key.

Getting too complicated for me. A hotkey would be doable for me though and may be easier. Enter centres so maybe Ctrl-Enter could sort for me.
I am mainly confused why it doesn't automatically put them in the right order sometimes.
