| | Mixed Orientation of NXT Sensors in LPub

Okay, I'm baffled by this. I'm adding both an NXT touch sensor and a HiTechnic acceleration sensor in one step and for some reason they are oriented differently in the parts list generated by LPub. The touch sensor is pointing down to the left and (...) (15 years ago, 3-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thank you for all the comments on this (including those that veered off-topic). I like the "Cross Block" designation, especially as this is a common theme in the LEGO descriptions. It has the added benefit that it is shorter than "Joiner (...) (15 years ago, 3-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you've gotta sort alphabetically, I say don't discriminate. Sort the Lego core colors in the 30000 range alphabetically too. What?
