Just upgraded to 2017 and now all the configurations in part files are sorted by History by default.  We use configurable files for bearings, fasteners, etc and to select the configuration we want to use in an assembly is horrible.  So far it looks like we need to check out, open, change the sort order, save and check back in every file to get this corrected.

I don't know why the default wasn't set to Literal since that is how SolidWorks has ALWAYS sorted them in the past.
