Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? PC 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Modern Menswear
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just look at any sim's skill panel.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim's skill panel is out of order and when I switch it to show it alphabetically, it doesn't stay, the next time I go to look at my sim's skill, it's out of order again.
What do you expect to see? My sim's skill panel to either be alphabetical, or if that change is by design, to stay alphabetical when I select that option.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. While I'm reporting it after installing Growing Together, I think it happened after the March 14 infant game update.
Here's an example of what the skills menu looks like. While this is showing a child's skill menu, the same thing is happening with other ages.

Also note that I've started a few new saves since the update and again since installing Growing Together and all have been in mod (and cc) free saves as I moved my mods folder to my desktop so I could test the update and pack in vanilla saves. I've also deleted my localthumbcache file and repaired my game both after updating and again after installing the new pack.
Best regards,
Jennifer

The skills list is arranged in alphabetical order and my eye will no longer twitch when looking at it.
Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
This issue isn't fixed. It looks fine for short skill lists but it's still messed up with long ones.
Please use this thread if for further comments and me toos: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Skills-List-Not-Staying-in-Alphabetical-Order-Patch-1-07/...
Good Luck

It's happening without Growing Together as well. Been a thing since the Infant update.

Just started happening here. At first it was just the random skills that were out of order, now all of them are.

Same exact problem. I don't know if it started with the Infant update or Growing Together, but at some point after that, my sims skill list won't stay alphabetical. The moment I click on another tab (Profile, Needs, Career, etc), when I go back, it's out of order again.

Same here in German Game version.
