Section 7. Apply the default sorting order

reload default sorting order

This help article explains how to use eaUtils Apply Default sorting Order feature on the elements that are contained within a package or element.

This feature runs on a package or an element selected from the Project Browser.

Enterprise Architect already lets you reset the elements sorting order with a right click > Contents > Reset Sort Order, however this is only available for a package. Hence this feature makes it possible to run or process composite elements e.g. a use case, class, activity.

 

The other advantage is to prevent users from looking for Enterprise Architect built-in Reset Sort Order.

Revert to the default sorting order

Select the package or element where the sorting needs to be restored to the default order > Specialize > eaUtils > [Browser] Reset Elements sort order.

Confirm you would like to proceed by clicking OK in the following dialog window:

As a result, the tree position value (TreePos) explained in section 1 of the sorting features, is set to Null for all the elements, as it was initially with the default EA sorting order.

The confirmation window below is displayed (click on CLOSE).
