small bug in Property sorting

[zweistein]

Hello,

there is a wrong sorting of the parameters in the Parameters column of a strategy tab.
These parameters are sorted by Property.Name and are NOT sorted by the Property.Attribute.Displayname.
The sorting should be the same as in a PropertyGrid, and in the grid sorting is by Property.Attribute.Displayname.

Example: SampleMACrossOver2.

By adding the DisplayName attribute the

[Description("Period for slow MA")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName("\rSlow")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
publicint Slow
{
get { return slow; }
set { slow = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

the "Slow" parameter is displayed first (because "\r" is lower than "S".


In the strategy tab Parameters column however the sort order is different.

Please fix

thank you

Somewehere in the NT7 docs/release notes you should find that the DisplayName concept no longer is support

@ Dierk,

your thread reference refers to the DisplayName concept that was used to define the DisplayName of an Indicator in the Add Indicators Form.
This has been abandonded as you state correctly.

I refer to the DisplayName concept used of a Property of something (indicator, strategy, column).

There the DisplayName is still valid and you use it extensively in your own code.

my post #1 applies to this situation

Andreas,

This could be the case. Unfortunately DisplayName is simply not supported anywhere.

Great that this sorting is back in NTb16 :-) All indicator parameters looked messed up in b15 now at least where legacy compatible and can order the parameters and not be at the disgrace of some sorting algorithm than removes any logic ordering :-)
I was rather annoyed by this being removed as there was no alternative put back in place.

Great that you guys put that back in NT7b16, hope it stays
