Question: How are Meeting Participants in Right-Hand Roster List Ordered In Everyone's View, and Can This Be Changed?

[Gromit]

When I join a WebEx meeting and the rest of the group logs in, our names all appear in the roster list at the right-hand side of the screen as we show up.  The list arranges alphabetically by first name, but my name is always shown at the top of the list, at least on my system.

Please tell me that my name is indeed only shown at the top of the list on my own system - IOW, that every user appears at the top of the list on his own system only, while in every other participant's POV that name is shown alphabetically like the rest? 

I would hate to think there's some setting that's been shoving me to the top of the list as seen by everybody - in addition to seeming pompous it means I'm the first one called on to report every day.  This latter seems to be happening so I'm a bit concerned, and there is exactly zero information about this, anywhere here or within the WebEx program itself, so the issue needs addressing.

If my name is somehow stuck at the top of everybody else's list in addition to my own, is there a way to un-stick it?

You've nailed it precisely. Otherwise you'd be lost looking for your own name - and you need to be able to find your own name so you can raise or lower your hand.

while in every other participant's POV that name is shown alphabetically like the rest?

You've nailed it again - although the host has the option to order the list in order of Raised Hands or Name

I hope this helps
