Sort Array of References by Label-Name

[Joachim082]

I am developing on an DSC application with shared variables and alarming and events with a hugh amount of variables. Each variable is displayed on the front panel within tab controls. To reduce time and effort when expanding the variables I would like to arrange my references from the front panel by the label name. I've attached a part of the intialization of the front panel. There I have to manually expand each variable in the shared variable library, where the name of the variable has to be in the same order as the definition in the cluster.

My approach was to build an array of references of digital type and sort the references by the label name. Because the shared variables have the same name as the controls they would be in the same order and I also could dislaim the cluster of references.

maybe somebody can give my an hint.

Kind Regards,

Hi Joachim,

use the standard "sort an array of cluster" approach!

Put the control label and the reference (in this order!) in a cluster, make an array of such clusters and sort the array. It will sort by the label and you can unbundle the reference in sorted order...

Thanks,

after a few modifications of the sorting algorithm this works great for me.

Best Regards,
