Sorting appears to be incorrect

[Patrick Radomski]

For all of my templates I’ve created so far, EADocX appears to list everything in the opposite order to how they appear inside the EA package.

It seems to work correctly when you change the sorting to ‘name’ and ‘alpha’, but for the majority of cases I just want them in the order they are inside the package.

How do I fix this?

This is an EA ‘feature’. For elements which are just created in a package, EA doesn’t save their order: they seem to be able somehow get them in the right order in their UI, but at the API which we have to use, the order isn’t fixed.
BUT, all you have to do is select one item in the package, move it up or down one, then move it back to wehere it was, and EA suddely remembers the order of ALL the elements in the package.

Thanks for that. Changing the order then changing it back worked a treat.

Helpful little feature EA has there.
