Ordering attributes by stereotype under IF element

[andykennelly]

I'm creating attributes under an interface element. The attributes will be one of 2 stereotypes, <<input>> or <<output>>. For purposes of clarity I want all the <<input>> attributes to appear together immediately under the interface, and for all the <<output>> attributes to appear under the <<input>> attributes.

However, Sparx applies alphabetical ordering based on the attribute name.

Can I overide this with ordering based on alphabetical ordering of stereotypes (which will put all my input's first)??

(I've searched on various combination of ordering/attributes' in sparx help and on the forum, but found nothing).

Any ideas??

Yes, there is an option to group features by stereotype.
In Tools|Options|Objects the checkboxes
- Group Operations by stereotype and
- Group Attributes by stereotype.

This will only affect the order on diagrams, not in the project browser.

Thanks, Geert. That's helpful. I assume from what you say that there's no way to impose stereotype ordering within the project browser as well??

Indeed, not without writing an add-in that is.
