Sort drawlist members

Alan
 
  • Anyone have a macro (or pml routine) for sorting drawlist members?

    Some of the drawlists I'm working with have been put together in a bit of a random way, I'd like to be able to sort the drawlist by the design item name.

    This will make it easier when checking drawlist for missing adde or reme

!CS = CURRENT SESSION
    !COLL = !!COLLECTMEMBERSOF(CE , '')
    !NAME = !COLL.EVALUATE(OBJECT BLOCK('!COLL[!EVALINDEX].NAME'))
    !NEWPOSITION = !NAME.SORTEDINDICES()
    !NAME.SORT()
    !COLL.REINDEX(!NEWPOSITION)
    !MCOUNT = !COLL.SIZE()

    DO !X values !COLL
        !Lock = False
        IF !X.USERCLAIM.EQ('') OR !X.USERCLAIM.EQ(!CS.USER().NAME) Then
            REORDER $!X AFTER $!MCOUNT
        ELSE
            $P$!X IS CLAIM BY $!X.USERCLAIM
        ENDIF
    ENDDO

  • Thanks.

    That's a normal sort, I wanted to sort by the ddnm of the adde (or reme), which aren't named, so the normal sort doesn't apply.

    Anyhoo, fixed it now.

    For what purpose line '!NAME.SORT()'  is used? I understand that it sorted members(attribute Name) of array !NAME but for what?

    The sort part is:
    !NEWPOSITION = !NAME.SORTEDINDICES()
    !COLL.REINDEX(!NEWPOSITION
    )

    I guess it remained from the past..
