Hi,

While adding the attributes to class they are automatically ordered by name. Is there any way to impose one's own order?

Many thanks in advance!

Jacek,

If you'd searched on attribute order, you'd have found the answer.

However I will observe that with the change from the previous behaviour EA violated one of the principles of "Goal oriented interface design".

The subsequent confusion by both experienced and novice users is evinced by the number of posts on this topic. (Not to mention those who searched and got their answer before posting a query)

Hopefully the Sparxians have learnt their lesson.

Please please please, enough of this UI (Unique Interface).

Frustratedly,
Paolo
