Ordering files in Case Manager

[tnapp]

Hi there, 
Is there an easy way to order the files in the Case manager besides manually dragging them one by one? For some reason the order in the Case manager is not the same as what I have in the Navigation window. For example, if I add a new scenario file it appears at the bottom rather than in alphabetical order as it appears in the navigation window. My files are all mixed up and I have a lot of scenario files so it takes a long time to manually fix this. 

Thanks,

Tamaryn

Hi, I have attached a screen cap. As you can see the case manager files are all mixed up and not at all like the order in the navigation window.

I see the problem. The current functionality is basically designed to deal with incremental scenarios (and cases)... not 60+ in one shot.

This issue was raised by Gary at some point, but we did not make progress. Here is what I propose:

1. New items will appear in their own section (Base, SubRES, Demand, Trade, Regular Scenarios)
2. There will be an option (on right-click) to sort the items alphabetically, in each section.
3. New items will still be added at the bottom of each section, so that they can be identified easily, but you will be able to sort them easily.

Would this work for you?

Hi Amit

Yes, I realise that the current system works better if you are making minor revisions and additions of scenarios but we have being making substantial changes and taking on new files from the latest version of ETSAP which has caused this problem. The points that you have suggested above would be great. All three would improve the functionality immensely!

When could we expect this update to be available?

We found an elegant way to implement this... this should be available by tomorrow.
