This list will appear differently on every NT admin client.

This is in the Registry of the machine you are running the admin client from,
except for the last client selected out of the list
HKLM\software\veritas\netbackup\currentversion\config\clients

The last client used or currently in use will be in this key and is removed
from the list above
HKLM\software\veritas\netbackup\currentversion\config\\browser

When a new client is selected, the previous client (from the browser value)
takes the place in the list wherever the new client was, so you can sort this
but it will continue to get messed up.

I suppose you could write a script that gets this field out of the Registry,
sorts it and then updates the value with the new list.  This could be run
on-demand or daily... and I guess if you wanted to get really crazy, you could
export a list of all the clients from NetBackup and then create this sorted
list on a schedule, so you would never have to add a new client and they would
always be there in order.

I am running into a bit of an issue. Performing restores for lots of clients
with the Windows Administration interface is making the list selector hard
to use. The list is not sorted that I can see, and typing a name in the
'add' field does not move it to the bottom of the list if it exists, so as
the list continues to grow, it's becomming very difficult to find clients in
the list who already exist (source and destination clients tab)

How can I either sort this list or clear it?

Thanks

Jason
