Family Type parameter organizing with drag and drop

[dezindzer]

Add more sorting options and functions such as a drag and drop option for sorting parameters.

Currently there are some performance issues with the current UP and DOWN arrows, as you can see here:

If there are a lot of parameters, the moving of the parameter becomes lagy and slooooooooooow

This entire process is tiresome as is.

I would really like to see a better way to sort parameters in Family Types, Shedules, Wall Type edit layer, or where ever the move up and move down buttons appears for sorting things. This generates a lot of clicks and feels outdated.

Family editor's Family Types dialog;

If you would like to move a family parameter from one category to another, you have to first select the parameter, click edit button, then change category from dropdown, click OK, select it again then move with UP/DOWN button from the alphbetic posistion it gets in the new category.   

Should be simple drag and drop across category to new posistion directly in Family Types Dialog.

An excellent suggestion, and to add to it, a filter/sort option so you could sort by all instance or type or all that are numeric would make the whole user experience more pleasant.

But of all these the drag & drop option is by far the biggest time saver.

Great idea!

Many things in Revit should have a drag and drop feature!
