Title: Can we sort a collection?
Post by: pH on September 24, 2010, 09:47:02 pm

Hi,
Can we sort a collection of element properties with in addin code?
I see many scenarios where sorting is required like sorting some elements in specific order or ordering attributes or operations,pre-conditions/ post-conditions or basic/alternate path, or the packages itself.

Thanks,
pH

pH,

You can, but not by trying to sort the actual EA.Collection. (if you have suicidal tendencies, then by all means go ahead and try to sort the EA.Collection :-X)
Each of those elements has its own sorting property. Attributes and Operations can be sorted using their Pos attribute.
For Elements within a package use TreePos, ...
