Is it possible to sort the controls and indicators on the front panel?

Programming events would be much easier in an application with lots of controls and indicators, if there where a means to sort and group them.
Is there any means to do so such that you see a sorted list when choosing the control that triggers an event etc..?

Hi Herbert,

If i understood your qurey right, this is what i suggest

Put all controls in one cluster and if u create an indicator for this control, it will have a cluster of indicatrrs

I am not aware of a way to sort the list of controls (that are listed in the edit events dialog) by name. They seem to be sorted in the order they were created.

I agree, sorting could be useful for large VIs. 🙂

Thank you for the replies.
Grouping as many controls as possible into clusters is understood. However if you want to gray out certain controls and leave others operating, they must not be in the same cluster.
So it seems that one runs into this problem everytime one is developing an application together with a customer that does not yet clearly know what he wants.
It seems thus to me that a means to change the order of the controls/indicators would be something to the wishlist for LabVIEW.

Thank's a lot.
