Yet another sorting question

[Dina O’Donnell]

Hi All,

We are trying to change the order that related elements are reported in eaDocX in MS Word. The related elements are in a different package from the package being used for this section.

For example, the section is built from a package of business requirements, the related functional and non-functional requirements are in a different package and no matter what we do the related elements are being reported in a random order. We’d like to control the sequence the related elements are reported on. Can anyone advise on how this can be done?

Our package has one diagram and although it’s not included in the reporting within the preview pane, it still shows up in the Word report (the diagram options are set to “Contents, No Diagram”).

Thank you.

Hi Dina,
You’re right that there is no sorting on related elements. eaDocX just gets the related elements, in whatever order EA returns them. I’ll have a think where you would specify what that sort order would be – name, Alias etc.
I’ve added it to backlog for v4.1 as #160.

This is great to hear – thank you! Is there an estimated date for the release of v4.1?

In a word, no.
I’m still working through 4.0, and it’s taking a while. That won’t be done for many weeks yet, then I think I’m due some time off…
