How are zone sort in the pull down menue?

Hi there!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to sort categories from the pull-down menu, but I’m stuck. My main goal is to have them short and in alphabetical order so I can quickly find the one I need.

I’ve searched online, but I couldn’t find any clear instructions. I don’t want to sort them in a schedule, just in the drop-down menu.

Does anyone know where I can find some guidance on this? I’d really appreciate it!

Hi,

Have you tried a number on the category code before them and see if they will be sorted in ascending order?

Hi @iggiv

Zone categories have a Category Code that can be used for sorting.

You can see them all together in Options> Element Attributes> Attribuute Manager> Zones

Try to sort them by Name and then change their Codes accordingly.

Regards.

Hey Cosmin and Ricardo! I was sure I had tried this before, but somehow it worked before, happy to say this time it did. I knew I was doing something wrong and Graphics couldn’t make it complicated. Thanks a bunch! This is the solution I was looking for!
