How To Organize the Cell Index?

Hello,

The cell index tool creates the index based on the order the models were created. However, there has already been an Enhancement Request (#12957) filed to have the option to create the index in an alphabetical order.

Regards

Is there a time frame for when Enhancement 85308 will be implemented?

Enhancement # 85308 was closed by our development team as an update that was not going to be implemented.

If your believe this is an important enhancement for MicroStation I would suggest posting this to the MicroStation Ideas forum where all users can vote of whether it is something important for them.

If you are CE it's worth looking at ComponentCenter. A lot more sorting options. And if it doesn't do exactly what you need, it's more likely that an enhancement would be accepted there.

Is there a reason given? Why don’t they believe this is helpful? is there an alternative method that accomplishes this task?

You posted your question in 2014, and presumably were using MicroStation V8i. MicroStation V8i is no longer in development.

The cell dialog in MicroStation CONNECT contains sortable columns.  You can sort in ascending order...

... or descending order ...
