I have ticked the “Allow free sorting” option in EA so that I can order the elements outside of the default element type grouping i.e. in my business process documents I want the activies and decisions to appear in the same order as they appear in my diagram instead of having all the decisions grouped at the end.

When I generate a RTF document it correctly reflects the order of the elements in the project browser but when I generate a eaDocX document it still groups the elements within the default element type grouping ie. all decisions at the end. Within these groupings it has correctly reflected my element order.

I have seen a previous post about the API not knowing of the order changes and it recommends to manually change the order of one of the elements, which I have done and as I said it has correctly reflected the correct order within the element groupings.

I can also see a Sorting tab in the profile element definitions and I select “Use sorting from EA(Default)” although it doesn’t seem to save my selection as when I go back it nothing is selected. But the help states that it is the default.

I am running EA 9.1.909 and eaDocX 3.0.4.0.
