Parameter dialog config file rp_config.xml does not seem to sort.

It appears after having set up the config file for the parameter dialog it does not sort the name column descending.  The XML does contain the lines:

<sortby>
      <column name="name" order="Descend"/>
</sortby>

The other settings function as expected.  Something missing?  Expectations too high?

Hi,

 

I tested your xml file in CR3 M130 and realized that there is bug in Creo. See following "table":

 

<column name="name" order="Ascend"/>... without sorting
<column name="name" order="Descend"/> ... ascending sorting
<column name="name" order="None"/> ... descending sorting

 

This means if you want to sort parameters in descending order, you have to set following option in XML file:

<column name="name" order="None"/>

 

Please report the problem to PTC Support.

Hi,

 

1.) According to https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS134639, you have to set config.pro option ‘parameter_dialog_setup_file’ and browse to ‘rp_config.xml’ as a value

 

2.) If I remember it well, Creo saves into ‘rp_config.xml’ only changes made to default dialog setting.

 

3.) I can test your problem, if you tell me what Creo version you use (for example Creo 3.0 M090).

I forgot to mention I am using Creo 3 M130.  Attached is the XML saved by Creo that I compared to other ones saved with visible differences in settings made.  Thank you for your time.
