Cool. Thats an easy trick.

Now, before I saw your reply, this is what I did. Looks like my trick also worked. I’m not sure if this is a smart way and if I have done some mistake!

Step 1: Selected my root model folder. Open eaXL.
Step 2: In left pane, Elements > Requirement (ticked it)
Step 3: Nextly, Columns > Name, SortOrder (ticked these)
Step 4: Export data to the worksheet -> clicked. Now, I see all my requirements and 90% of my the rows having zero under SortOrder field
Step 5: Updated the SortOrder with a series 1, 2, 3… so on – using excel fill series.
Step 6: Import data back to EA

Now I extracted my document and the order is fine.

Please share your thoughts. By the way, your add-ons is simply awesome!

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried googling out some sorta workaround.

Saw this link – http://www.umlchannel.com/en/enterprise-architect/item/91-sparxsystems-enterprise-architect-project-browser-script-sort-by-alias-sort-by-tagged-value

Is it hard to emulate the “up” and “down” actions and setting the sorting data in EA db through a script? I’m not a techie. Would be great if someone is able to write a script and we run it before generating a document. Just that my repository has hundreds of elements and its going to be hard to do the “up/down” for each element.

Kindly advice.

Hello,

I’m trying to extract a package containing parent-children requirements by inserting an element report. But, I’m not able to get the sorting right (as displayed in EA project browser).

I have attached a screenshot of how the elements are displayed in the EA project browser and how they are displayed in the extracted table. Please advice on how to get it.

I want the table to display:

Parent-1
Child-1.1
Child-1.2
Child-1.3

Parent-2
Child-2.1
Child-2.2
Child-2.3
