Tagged values non-alphabetical

[Alex9329]

Hi!

I created an MDG technology. In this MDF there is an element with predefined tagged values. I would like to put the tags in non alphabetical order, but I can't. So I would like to put tags in tagged value window of an element in order that I would like to. How can I do it?

Simple answer: you can't.

Thanks fo the answer!

Could you please also tell something me about my other question...

My task is to describe the infoflows. That means that I have to describe the link between the objects. I have found out that I can set tagged values and other information for the connectors. But connectors are not elements, I can't view them as list. And if I define tagged values and other features to connectors, those tagged values and other things don't appear in web reports and documentation reports. So I have 2 question.
1. How can I get all the connectors as list? Like a list view for the elements for eample.
2. How can I show in documents and web reports other properties of the connector? (Tags, data object and so on). I tried to customize the default web report but failed and did not reach the result.
Thanks

I have read you other question but can't answer since I don't use the HTML report (nor the standard RTF documentation). Connectors are listed in the GUI in the Relationships window. You can also write a custom query to list connectors.

Could you please tell me how to write custom querries or where can I get the tutorial of it?

Ctrl-F will open a dialog where you can enter SQL queries. The help (the ?-icon) points you to the use of the GUI. However, a documentation of the tables is (AFAIK) only available through my Inside book.

Thank you!

I also have one question...

I have 2 objects and I would like in tagged values show some "connetcion" between them. So I use the RegGUID tagged value. But it is not applicable for both elements. Can I do it for both?
Example: I have 2 objects: 1. Forest 2. Tree. In "Forest" RefGUID tagged value I choose "Tree". And in "Tree" tagged value "Forest should appear.
So I would like to set some sort of "be-directional tagged value connector".

Please, If something is not undestandable, I am ready to discuss

You must not repeat your questions here. I read almost all of them.

Alex,

For your questions in Reply #3, I had similar needs to help analyze and validate interfaces throughout my architecture model.  Consider the following:
1. You can create unique custom tags that contain the data you desire.  For my architecture, I decided that the EA applied unique identifier for each interface was good enough and because of volume wrote a script that locates interfaces and creates a custom tag "ConnectorID" that contains the EA identifier. 
2. EA provides a large volume of information about each connector that is available through SQL queries and collection from the repository.  Some of the information available includes connector name and ID, diagram name and ID, sender data, receiver data, connector type and direction.  Consider generating a custom script to collect the data you are interested in and outputting it to an RTF table.  For data that is not available using the document generator templates, you can concatenate the data in one of the valid fields with a delimiter (such as "@").  Post processing can be applied to the output to separate the data.  Look in the EA User Manual for data associated with the connector class.
