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.
