Outliner
Version:
2.1.5
Date Updated:
09/13/2012 The Outliner 2.0 is a fast and easy to use scene management tool. It has a wide range of features, including selecting, hiding, freezing, linking and grouping objects in the "Hierarchy Mode". In the "Layer Mode" you can organize your scene by dragging&dropping objects from one layer to the other. What's more, the Outliner offers support for nested layers, to manage scenes more efficiently. The interface is nimble enough to keep it open constantly.
Additional Info:
Compared to the previous version (1.6.1), there are many improvements. Most notable among them are: hugely increased performance, improved stability, nested layer support and many small tweaks to improve the ease of use. For a list of all changes, click here
Version Requirement:

Other Software Required:
.NET 3.5 Framework

If you mean that group
If you mean that group contents aren't shown below their group head node, then that's by design. Imagine a scenario where the group contents are on a different layer than their group head, this would be confusing in the layer mode if you were expecting a group hierarchy.
You can turn this on though, there's a setting for it in the options dialog.

Oops! I used to have a little
Oops! I used to have a little macroscript included with the previous versions (< 2.0) that would reset the preferences, but I don't think it's still in there.
You can do it manually though:
-Close max.
-Search for this file on your computer: outliner_prefs.ini
-Make a backup of it, just in case something goes wrong.
-Open it, and edit the values posx, posy, width, height so that the window is positioned on the screen.
-Save the file.
-Start max.
I hope this helps. If you keep having problems like this when moving the Outliner (to a second monitor), let me know.
