How to sort properties?

[michal.d.florkowski]

In the post-processor file, I sorted the properties nicely in the order I want, but in the dialog box in Fusion, the order is somewhat different. I would prefer the order as it is in the post file. Is there any way to achieve this?

Short answer, not easy. Below links are some discussions about this from before, but there has been no progress, that I have found. Long answer, hack your property names so they sort alphabetically. This is NOT guaranteed to work, as it was explained to me the alphabetic sort was just an "accident", and not done internally on purpose.

There are other conversations with snippets about this "feature", you just have to search.

Hi guys,

the short answer is the alphabetical order.

But everybody is expecting an alphabetical order based on what is displayed in Fusion.

That's not correct.

We are not using the value of the title from the definition.

We are using the name of the property.

So, we are looking at:

useEndPositionX

useM99

usePositionX

etc....

Regards

Thank you for the responses. I decided to group the positions. This solution was just faster and is still very readable.
