case insensitive sorting
« on: October 19, 2009, 10:03:43 pm »
I notice that the alpha-numeric sorting in the project browser and diagram layout tools is sensitive to letter case, possibly because it is only sorting based on character code values. Please implement a case insensitive alpha-numeric sort.

Best Regards
Dave B.

PS currently using EA v7.5.849.
PPS I fully appreciate that consistent naming conventions are de-rigour for software, but mixed case model-element names arise when constructing analysis models with domain-specific language and terminology. (I'm using SysML for this purpose.)

I don't think it has, but if you want to weigh in on the discussion, make sure to send a feature request to Sparx

Hi Dave,

You can try eaUtils addin which supports enhanced sorting options including enabling/disabling case sensitive support.
Hopefully it'll do what you're after.
