Sort order of tasks in DGNLIB-files

My issue is that I have customized an existing taks (called "Öffnungselement Makro Platzieren" which comes from Bentley Speedikon Architecture) in a separate .dgnlib-file.

Everything is working as expected, except one thing: The sort order of the tasks is slightly mixed up ...

The left columns shows the actual situation, the right one the layout prior to creating the separate .dgnlib-file.

The two folders "Grundriss" and "Gelände" now appear at the bottom of the list - how can I move them back to their original place?

Hi quasi-moto!
That sorting is set in the Custom DgnLib you got from Bentley Speedikon Architecture. You would have to open the .DgnLib that has the Custom Tasks defined in it, and move the Tasks around in their listing. Best to notify Bentley Speedikon Architecture and let them correct it. You are probably not the only one it annoys. The others just live with it, in silence.

Hi George,

thanks for your reply!

What I do not understand - why has the sort order changed as soon as I have done some changes to a task?

Regards
Markus

Because you split it off to a seperate dgnlib it gets read in a different order. If you used something like *.dgnlib in your configuration the files will probably be processed alfabetically.
If you want to control the order better you should define the exact order in your "guidgnliblist" configuration variable.

Hi Koert,

thanks for your idea - but I think that this can't be done ...

The tasks which come from Speedikon are not listed in "MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST" - these are attached automatically and are not shown in this variable.

There is a "Design.dgnlib" which resides in the program folder - this one holds all the Speedikon tasks and I am not sure why the order of these tasks get's mixed up, when I add another *.dgnlib to the Workspace ...
