NT8 Feature Request: ability to group/sort drawings in "Drawing Objects" window
Hello again,
I'd like to submit a feature request for NT8, specifically for the "Drawing Objects"/drawing properties window.
what I'd like to see is sub categories within the "Configured" list so that the drawings can be sorted.
Suggested sub categories: Drawing Number, Drawing Type, Drawing Tag, Visible, Start Anchor Price, Start Anchor Time.
Drawing Number: When a drawing is added to the chart, it is given an incremental id, which is used to track the order in which the drawings were added onto the chart. This way the list can be sorted by first to last added, or its reverse.
Alternatively, a timestamp could be used (noting the date/time of when each drawing was added).
Drawing Type: Sort alphabetically by the types of drawings.
Drawing Tag : Sort alphabetically by the tags of drawings.
Visible: Sort/separate the currently visible/invisible drawings.
Start Anchor Price: Sort by price of the start anchor. To match the top-to-bottom/bottom-to-top order of drawings on the chart.
Start Anchor Time: Sort by the time of the start anchor. To match the left-to-right/right-to-left order of drawings on the chart.
Ideally, it would be great to have the ability to toggle between ascending and descending order, as well as having a sub sorting mechanism.
For example, sort by visibility first, then sort by tag.
(The visible drawings are separated from the invisible ones, then within each of those 2 groups, the drawings are sorted by their tags.)
I understand that this could be a pretty tall order, so if its easier, adding just the ability to sort/separate drawing by visibility would be very helpful in the interim.
Thanks!
