In my complex project I often create new attributes in classes that already have more than a hundred of them. The newly created attribute is created at the bottom. I have to move the attribute up the list by pressing the UP-button a hundred-or-so times. :-/
I would like to drag-and-drop the newly created attribute where I want.

Usability in EA context is spelled EAUI (EA Unique Interface). In the beginning we did have no means of moving attributes. Then the hands/arrows were introduced. It is part of the windoze world that each application can have its own interpretation of UI. Things like drag move in comboboxes are not automatically present. So you have to implement them (for each box separately!). That's likely why you don't have it. And you likely won't get it.
Quite funny. Here is a board with tons of usability ideas. I wonder how many get realized in the end (less than one per mille?). However, see my signature.
Sorry for hijacking your post.

I, too, would like EA to feature drag and drop reordering of attributes. (This is true, even though we are able to avoid creating classes with huge numbers of attributes in our systems.)

By the way, Bruce, if you want to express your idea correctly and clearly in Latin you might try, "Ceterum censeo errores esse emendandos." (Technical explanations: errores is accusative plural versus erroris, genitive singular; emendandos because the gerundive--a verbal adjective--must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. And OK, I think emendare expresses the idea of correcting more clearly.) Then readers of Latin will know what you mean!

Now write it 100 times

Paul,
first of all thanks for the correction of my correction wish. I'll change that immediately (my level is more of the "Romani eunt domus" writer than that of the Centurio - Hail Cesar!). Second, I'm not Bruce, though I use the b. like him (I guess it was by intention and not eventually). But indeed it's only short for beginner.
Cheers,
b.

Cerebrobamus, ergo Visio (I shall have been thinking I could do this in Visio... I think, or thought, or plu-thought or somethink. Ya wanna thight!)
And by the way Paul, my gender has always agreed with me and your can keep your thoughts about my genitives private thanks! ;)

Editors please note, there is no fullstop after me, in b.'s case there usually is. At least we know who we are, I think.

Ha, ha! Sorry, I thought maybe I had mixed y'all up when I thought about it later. Well, now I know!
