If you selected to sort only on the first agent-server communication, all enabled systems are sorted on
their next agent-server communication and are never sorted again for as long as this option is
selected. However, these systems can be sorted again manually by taking the Sort Now action, or by
changing this setting to sort on each agent-server communication.
If you selected to sort on each agent-server communication, all enabled systems are sorted at each
agent-server communication as long as this option is selected.
Enabling and disabling System Tree Sorting on Systems

You can change the sorting status on systems in any table of systems (such as query results), and
also automatically on the results of a scheduled query.
