OMG...I go to look on my map to scroll to a landmark and it's a chaotic mess. Normally, it's in alphabetical orde, now...there no rhyme or reason to it.

Since the updated-update, they should be in the same order as your LandMarks folder.

Mine aren't, they are still in some bizarro order. And because many of the names are long the combo button isn't there forcing me to close the map or use tab to get back to the regular interface.

My main problem is double-clicking landmarks, the inner text box shows a weird clipped version of the landmark name, for example:

Carnage Island Spectator Area, Carnage Island (244, 128, 31)
a, Carnage Island (244, 128, 31)

aEoLuS R/C boats at Atlantis & Casi, Gnoma (193, 96)
Atlantis & Casi, Gnoma (193, 96)

Little Rebel Designs, Gallinas (138, 97, 58)
el Designs, Gallinas (138, 97, 58)

If you actually double-click the description box the entire text is there, it is just justified in some odd way at the moment.

Ok, it sounds like some people are having trouble still, mine when I made that post were in the same order (inc. subfolders) as my inventory.

What a mess

Same problem here, I can't find anything anymore with so many landmarks and then now in a random order it is 100% useless now. I hope this is just a bug and they fix it fast.

Why not just use the landmark folder in your inventory for now? It's better anyway, because it can have subfolders.

When I click the landmarks drop down, i cannot get rid of the large scrolling list that appears. I have to use the map button to turn it all off and then turn the map on again.

also is there any reason why i occasionally have 5-10 landmarks all from the same place?

Very likely, you have several instances of that landmark scattered throughout your inventory. I've noticed that when I get a folder of items i've just purchased, the seller has included a landmark to their store. Buy a few more things from the same store, and you get that many more landmarks. Use the 'search' option in your inventory to find them, and then delete the ones you don't want, after you've moved one example to your 'Landmarks' folder.
