I have the attached code as an add in that takes all of the favourite userParameters and adds them to a group in an input display and uses an underscore to identify if the parameter is part of a group (eg. Test1_Parameter1 when Test1 is the group and Parameter1 is the parameter).
This is working great but I would really like to order the groups as well as the parameters in alphabetical order. Currently the iteration is performed in the order that they were originally entered into the user parameters screen. By adding them to groups at least the groups are sorted, it helps a little. But I would like to get it so that for example Parameter3 shows up AFTER Parameter2 without having to go back, delete all of the parameters that come after my target position and recreate them from scratch.
In this example I added Taa_Parameter1, it shows that the grouping as well is added at the end because the new parameter was the last one evaluated by the script.
Is it possible to reorder the userParameters list (sorry I am not sure if these are lists, or arrays or dictionaries so I am probably not using the correct terminology) by copying it to a new list and sorting it? Or by sorting the inputs after they are created? I am not sure how to do this so I am guessing at possibilities from my past experience, but that is where I am stuck.
Thanks for any help you can provide
