Title: v15.2 – What order do the stereotypes in the profile get generated?
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on September 18, 2020, 11:46:21 am

The MDG generation process generates a set of defined stereotypes from a profile diagram.  What order do the stereotypes in the profile get generated? It appears to be t_diagramobjects.Sequence.  Can anyone confirm?  If so, then we can script the desired order.

Yes. It's that field in the database. It can be configured in the UI by changing the z-order.

Just to complete the topic, the stereotypes are actually emitted in REVERSE z-order!   ::)  That is, the higher the Sequence value, the closer to the start of the file!  Took me a while to reverse all the special order I created assuming (stupid idiot, this IS EA!  :o) that it would be emitted in ascending Sequence value.^[1]

Hope this helps someone.
