Attribute ordering

[Paolo F Cantoni]

It's been a while since I manually worked with attributes (hence the number of bugs/issues I'm reporting).

Are we able to change the order of attributes manually?  I thought I have set up the appropriate options, but nothing I do allows me to change the ordering.

I know I can change the ordering in automation by using the API to alter the Pos column in the table, but I can't see how to affect it manualy.

Maybe it's "wood and trees", but I need help!

TIA,
Paolo

Use CTRL + UP/DOWN arrows on the features dialog.

Hi there Paolo.

In the 'Attributes' dialog, right-click on the attribute you want to re-order. Select 'move up/down' as appropriate.

We had to look for this recently, too! We have gone from EA9 to EA12 - there used to be little green arrow controls to re-order attributes. The arrows appear in the Project Browser, but they do not appear to be enabled when selecting 'attributes'. They are when selecting other package elements.

Hi HP,

I have the same problem, I also just jumped from v9 to V12!

The arrows in the browser don't seem to work for me.  Do they for you?  They work for elements, but not for attributes.

Thanks VKN,

It was "wood for trees".

I'd given up looking on the context menu since a lot of things that should be there often aren't - due to EAUI.

Still I should have checked...
