The only file that I monkey around with is /usr/fox/sysmgm/smonlst.cfg, which controls the order of the system monitors presented on the first page of SysMon. In fact, I modified this file for our system just yesterday! It's a binary file, so you better be handy with bpatch, but it's not that difficult. It has three fields for each sysmon: sysmon name, host AW, and historian. I'd 'string' the smonlst.cfg file to an output file, sort on sysmon names, and use that as a template to edit the smonlst.cfg file using bpatch. There's another file that controls the order of stations displayed in each sysmon, but I never bother with that, so I can't tell you the exact location. But I believe it's another binary file just like smonlst.cfg.
