Sort model search results (virtual documents)
« on: November 04, 2009, 10:58:56 pm »
Hello,

I have the following request for the ability to sort model search results for virtual documents:

When creating a Model Document, a Model Search can be defined via Tagged Values. This works fine, but the order of the resulting list is not predictable (as documented in the EA help). This makes the feature useless for some types of documents, especially if there is no possibility to sort the report later in Word.
Unfortunately, the Element Order options of the RTF generator dialog do not have an effect on the report. But these options are not stored with the specific Model Document anyway. (Build 848)

It would be good to be able to define a sort order (via the TaggedValues of the Model Document) for the search results, similar to the ability to manually sort search results by clicking on a column header or similar to the Order options of the RTF generator dialog.

Feel free to comment. (Request will be posted to Sparx via HTML form, too).

Best regards,
Nils
