How to order linked elements ?

[AlanT]

    I have a package that contains requirements, and a package that contains use cases.  I am generating an RTF report that reports out by use case.  For each use case, it lists the requirements satistfied by the use case.  This is part of a larger document template.  I am using the SysML <<satisfy>> link.  

    I had been unable to determine how to get the requirements list for each use case to be in order of Name (the req. ID).  Until today, I could not figure out how EA was automatically ordering them.  

    However, it appears that EA orders the requirements linked to each use case by the *opposite* order in which the links were created.  Unless I am missing something, it seems nuts that: (a) EA orders them this way, and (b) there is no way for the user to control the ordering.

    Am I missing something really basic here?

                                Thanks, Alan

Yes, Alan, you are as yet unappreciative of EAUI  (EA's Unique Interface)  

There are many aspects of EA functionality that make no sense to us Users.

To see other aspects - search for EAUI using the Search button on the top left - NOT the the text box at top right (another self fulfilling prophesy for EAUI).

HTH,
Paolo
