By default, database objects display in alphabetical order and the owner name is indicated in parentheses. For more refined control, you can set these options through Data Source Explorer for an entire connection profile or for an individual database. However, if you change the global preference settings, they override the connection profile and database settings and set all objects to display according to the options that you select.
Subgroup preferences also dictate how database objects appear by indicating how database objects are organized into folders.
