GroupName order

[trader3000a]

Hi,
Where can i find instructions regarding how to control the order in which "GroupName" dropdowns I create, appear in the Settings window of the strat analyzer? it seems to follow alphabetical order, but I'm wondering if I can avoid: "aGroupName", bGroupName", etc.
thanks,
David

Hello David,

Thanks for your post.

You can control the group order using CategoryOrder however strategies specifically have some limitations depending on the tool being used. In the analyzer/optimizer you may have different ordering due to how those tools work. In the control center or chart that should work as expected.

CategoryOrder Attribute:

Hi Brandon,
The link takes me to "Page Not Found"

I looked at the CategoryOrderAttribute in the manual but the examples at the bottom aren't clear/contextual enough to be of use. I tried using Order=3000001 to no effect. Creative Group naming works well, but An example for ordering a Group Name in the Strategy Analyzer case would be great.

thanks,
David
