v15.2 - Add Alias (as well as Name) to Layout Tools
« on: August 31, 2021, 03:03:32 pm »
We have an increasing number of diagrams that use the [X] Use Alias if Available property to render the Alias instead of the Name fields.  We use the incorrectly named "Box" layout tool a lot and use the [Name <ascending)] sorting algorithm to layout the diagrams.  We were hoping that if the property was marked, it would use the Alias to sort (instead of the Name).  This is not the case.  We'd be happy with either using the "effective" name (Alias if available) or add the Alias as another field to sort on.

Please rectify.
