How to - correct order of struct elements (C++)

[wink]

Hello everybody!

I've got a question concerning structs and their representation in the project browser.

if I have a struct like the following:

Code: [Select]


packed struct INTC_ICR_Bitfields
{
   unsigned char   Reserved  : 2;
   unsigned char   Level         : 3;
   unsigned char   Priority      : 3;
};

The browser displays the fields in alphabetical order as follows:

<<struct>>INTC_ICR_Bitfields
- Level
- Priority
- Reserved


This becomes a real problem when it comes to RTF doc generation, since the fields are not listed in the correct order!
The problem is the same for any kind of struct or union.

I tried to enable "Free Sorting" in the "Local Options" dialog, but it makes no difference.

Is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers Manfred

Uncheck Tools/Options(Objects/Sort fields alpha...

Does this work for tagged values as well?

We have a profile with our own requirement classifier. The fields are such as

Delivery,
ID,
Need,
Notes,
Text

I would like the order

ID,
Need,
Delivery,
Text,
Notes

Hi Thomas,

That was quick!
Thank you very much, you just made my day!



Is that new in 6.1, I don't remember that option in earlier versions?

AFAIK: No. Tags are always sorted alphabetically. You might ask for an enhancement.
