Hi, I have created some new parameter's but they dont appear the way I want them to in the properties box.(see attached) they are all in the Text part of the properties just not in the order i need. Is it possible to reorder them in Revit or is there an addon that will do it??

Hey Maria! Did you ever find the solution to this 'glitch'? I accidentally did the same and hated it, but have also realized a use for it...so now I don't want to lose it.

What was the name of the add-in? I'm interested.

Based on how many issues last for the incredible number of years since people ask for something to be fixed (now 8 years since the original post in this thread!) it's pretty clear that Autodesk expect us to be programmers first, earning an income second.

This is true. You must use Dynamo to delete the shared parameter. Once you re-add the parameter to the project again it will have a new ID and it will reorder itself to the bottom. See attached Dynamo Script to delete one parameter. Please use with caution.

If you are working with a Template, be very careful about what Parameters you strip out. They are imbedded within View Filters, Schedules and Families. You will want to pull all 3 of those things back in after removing the shared parameters via Dynamo by ID number.

You can fix this using Diroots' "ParaManager" tool. Here’s how:

  1. Open Diroots Paramanger (you’ll find it in the Revit Add-Ins tab).
  2. Export your current parameters to an Excel file.
  3. In the Excel file, just rearrange them in the order you want.
  4. Go back to Revit and delete the old parameters (so there’s no duplicates).
  5. Finally, import the updated Excel file using Paramanager and hit Apply
