 * Likewise – echoing [@dannez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dannez/) – I’ve
   got exactly the same issue. Absolutely love this plugin. Just migrated a site
   in WP 4.2.2 from localhost to live, and when I click on the ‘Visual’ tab – there
   is nothing but white space. It’s still works fine on the local build…

 * [@rkgneuschul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rkgneuschul/) – you state 
   that;
 * > Even Microsoft manages to get this correct within its office products…
 * As noted by Cais, the sort order **is **correct – a simple exercise of plugging
   an array of mixed character strings (such as you’re using) into Excel and then
   sorting them will clearly demonstrate this. So; Microsoft **does** get it correct.
   You – unfortunately – do not.
 * Cais, you are an extremely polite person. Keep up the great work!

   in a similar fashion just by adding relevant IDs in the same .css area in Custom
   CSS Manager?

 * Thanks CrouchingBruin – all sorted!
 * I’d seen that post on the Support Forum, but was cautious about implementing 
   the edit. Your post gave me the push into the pool… Strangely, while I got the**(
   SB_LOADER)** error on localhost, it didn’t happen when I uploaded to the server–
   thus, I haven’t changed it to **(__FILE__)** there. (Don’t know whether I should…?)
 * Thanks for the pointer that the Child Theme’s style.css file won’t work. Whilst
   I appreciate that (although I don’t quite understand why); isn’t there a way 
   for CSS aficionados to be able to edit the dashboard without resorting to plugins?
   Or is that there’s perhaps a reliance on (say) JavaScript (with which I’m not
   too comfortable) within the plugin? That’s not to say that I don’t like plugins–
   I just like to understand what I’m doing! I see WordPress almost as a necessary
   evil for building CMS sites; given the choice, I much prefer just coding pure
   HTML and CSS.
 * As an aside, I also edited all the .php files within the Custom CSS Manager plugin–
   they all had whitespace at the end of files and all were concluded by closing
   tags. I’ve had horrendous problems with whitespace in .php files in the past,
   so the whitespace and tags had to go!
 * Anyway; thanks so much for your help – much appreciated.
 * Cheers

 * Hi CrouchingBruin
 * Thanks – I hadn’t thought of going down that route. I particularly like the idea
   of nesting the rule inside a media query.
 * I edited my Child Theme’s style.css file after some inspection, but couldn’t 
   get it to work. I then installed the Custom CSS Manager plugin, but it gave me
   the following error message against all my plugins:
 * > Use of undefined constant SB_LOADER – assumed ‘SB_LOADER’ in /../wp-content/
   > plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/custom-css-manager-plugin.php on line…
 * So I then deactivated the new plugin and went back to good old CSS and tried 
   a few variations – all without success. Here’s what I’ve currently added to my
   Child Theme’s style.css file:
 *     ```
       .wp-admin #widgets-left {
          display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * (My Primary (Left) Sidebar is hidden using a plugin.) Any ideas where I’m going
   wrong?
 * Cheers

 * Hi shilogh55
 * I’ve been working on the same problem and have come across the same issues. I’ve
   tried changing changing everything I can think of in the child css, but it seems
   to be overriden by the fourteen colors plugin. (You mention you’ve changed the“
   active” color – am I right in thinking you’re referring to the “accent” color
   within the “Colors” dropdown?) I managed to get mine to work by changing the “
   accent” color.
 * That aside, I’ve managed to force my child’s css to override the plugin, by using
   the ( !important ; ) property in the child theme’s css file, _e.g.,_:
 *     ```
       a {
       	color: #FFFF00 !important;
       	text-decoration: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve believe I’ve read somewhere that the ( !important ; ) property is frowned
   upon by purists (not sure why…?), but it works for me.
 * (I understand there’s also a way to add a function to deactivate the plugin css.
   Also, some plugins have inline css, which would override your child’s.)
 * Hope this helps.
 * Cheers

 * Hi Adrian
 * Thanks for your offer of help. I’m building the site locally and hadn’t previously
   worked out how to upload it to my host test environment. Now I’ve done that. 
   I’d previously looked at Firebug, but never took the time to understand it. I’ve
   now been looking at Chrome DevTools and appreciate how useful they (and probably
   Firebug) can be. I thought I’d be able to sort this myself with DevTools, but
   still can’t see the solution. Here’s a link to the page (totally basic at moment):
 * [http://webstersites.net/hairbeautique/](http://webstersites.net/hairbeautique/)
 * Hope you can point me in the right direction.
 * Cheers
