Sort Order of Test Cases in RTF/PDF Report
« on: July 13, 2012, 01:06:37 am »
Is there a way to alter the way EA sorts test cases in a report that I created and generate on a regular basic. If I have ten test cases and I enter a unique number in the NAME field of each test, the generated document list test case 10 after the first test case. I would like the tests to be listed in the oprder they were entered in EA or in sequence, meaning 10 coming after 9.

But when test 10 is entered, it gets sorted/placed after 01 in the template.

Test Case in the RTF are set to do a simple Alpha sort. So an alternate option is to list these using an alpha sequence:
 a), b), c),
