Properties panel sorting tool hides parameters

[floetstephane]

Hi,

I just wanted to share a bug relating to the parameter sorting tool.

I found out that one ,of my shared parameters can not cohabitate in the same group with one other shared parameters. When both are in the same group, one of them disappears from the properties panel. My guess is they both have special characters in it (² and ³) and for some reason the properties panel in revit 2024 can't display both parameters in the same group.

Then i found out that the default sorting mode is the issue. By alphabethical sorting both parameters are visible and the one with ³ disappears in default sorting mode.

This worked fine in Revit 2023.

I hope it helps.
