I have no issues, except the fact that types are not ordered by name.

I don't reproduce this.

I actually do reproduce this. And your previous issues are probably
related to this. The fact that I cannot reproduce the previous one is
probably because you seem to have user types. To be more precise, if I
comment the "cbDatatype->GuessSelection(ev);" line in
dlgColumn::OnSelChangeTyp() method, the bug is fixed.But it would get
rid of an interesting feature. Not sure what we should do, but it could
a be a non trivial bug fix.
