Objects are organized as a selectable, alpha-numerical listing of top-level
MOs, linked as appropriate, to further MOs, through drop-down hierarchical
lists.

Because queries are processed from the latest data on the server,
without direct reference to the MO Selection window, the MOs listed
before running a preset, may differ to those shown afterward. This
may occur when for example, the server sends results for MOs that
have been expanded, or aggregated, differently to those in the original
Managed Object list. In most cases, the lists before and after a query
will be the same, however this is not always so.
