Deleting a Data Source after sorting deletes the wrong one

Hello,
I am using Ranorex 4.0.4. I've run into an issue with deleting Data Sources after sorting. I have numerous data sources, and all of them are Simple Data Connectors. If I click the "Manage Data Sources" button in the Test Suite, and I sort them by the "Data Source Name" column, it makes it easier to find them. But if I select a Data Source after sorting, and then I click the Delete button, it appears to have been deleted. However in Source Control, when I compare the Latest vs. Workspace source files, the expected Data Connector was not deleted. The wrong Data Connector is deleted. It appears that if I do not sort the Data Sources, then the correct one will be deleted.
Let me know if you need more info to recreate the issue.
Thank you.

Hello,
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue.
Could you give me a more detailed description in order to reproduce the behavior?
Are you using SVN or TFS? Which version is used?
Have you already read the section "
Source Control" in our user guide?
You will find some hints how to use source control in connection with Ranorex there.
Thank you!
Regards,
Bernhard

I am using TFS. And... Yes, I have read the User Guide regarding Source Control. But I don't think Source Control has anything to do with this issue. The only reason I mentioned comparing the source files in Source Control is becasue that proved to me that the wrong Data Connector was deleted.
I am not sure why you are not able to reproduce the issue, because I can easily recreate it.
My environment is as follows:
Ranorex Version is 4.0.4
Visual Studio and TFS versions are 2012
I have 149 Simple Data Connectors created in the Test Suite (95% of them are in use).
Steps to recreate the issue:
1. In the Test Suite, click the "Manage Data Sources" button.
2. In the "Manage Data Sources" dialog, click the "Data Source Name" column header to sort it.
3. Select a Data Source in the list.
4. Click the "Delete" button.
EXPECTED RESULT:
The selected Data Source is deleted. This should be verifiable by comparing the local workspace Test Suite file to the checked-in Test Suite file. The difference should show the expected Data Source was deleted.
ACTUAL RESULT:
The selected Data Source in the "Manage Data Sources" appears to have been deleted. However, if I compare the local workspace Test Suite file to the checked-in Test Suite file, I see that the wrong Data Source was deleted.
If you would like to setup a Live Meeting to view this behavior, let me know. I would be happy to assist in demo'ing the issue.
Thanks!
