Can't order edges on RTF documents
« on: February 07, 2008, 10:34:17 pm »
In the RTF Options, you can order: Packages, Elements and Diagrams (vertexes).

But you CAN'T order edges (connectors).  This means the output order of linkages appears arbitrary.

Ordering options for edges should be (at least):
(none) - the present
Name
Type  (new default)
Origin  (source - implies name)
Destination  (target - implies name)

It would be better still if at least two (hierarchical) orderings could be specified for edges (due to their nature).

In addition, I feel it would be useful to add:
Primary Stereotype
to the list of ordering options for all types.

Yes, yes. And Yes.

What he said!

[EDIT: Possibly even some option to exclude any types (or stereotypes) in a specified list.]

No, you can't have it!
