See attached video - D2RLaunch's Additional Options > Runeword Sorting gets reset every time D2RLaunch is started up. In the video, I load up into the game the first time and it's using the default sorting. I exit the game, show that my settings are set to "By Itemtype" and re-do it. It works correctly when I load up the game a 2nd time. I then quit the game and quit D2RLaunch, restart D2RLaunch, and load up the game the 3rd time - sorting is back to the default sorting.

It is fixed in the next update already. Just been waiting to send it out until all the confusion from the update bugs died down
