Title: Diagram type sorting
Post by: Glassboy on March 05, 2012, 02:23:47 pm

Why do my custom diagram types sort in reverse z-order when using the new diagram wizard but sort in a random order when using the toolbox "More tools" drop down menu?

Custom diagram types will appear in the order that the «stereotype» elements appear in the diagram profile, and that will be in diagram z-order if you save the profile by right-clicking the diagram background; package order if you save the profile by right-clicking the «profile» package in the project browser.

Clicking the More tools... button will show you the order of the toolboxes; specifically, the order that the toolbox profiles appear in the technology file. If you built your technology using the Technology Wizard, this will probably be in alphabetical order of the toolbox profiles' filenames. Prefix your filenames with a number to force an alphabetical order.

OK I can do that but arrrggghhhh :-)  Some of these things need to make there way into the documentation.
