Question

What controls the order in which classification groups are shown in Details tab for Part information

Hello,

We are having Parts with multiple classifications. Windchill .
windchill pdmlink 12.0.2.7
windchill partslink 12.0.2.7
windchill 12.0.2.14 service pack

 

Does anyone know what controls the order in which the classification groups are displayed on the Details tab in product information?

It does not seem to be alphabetical (see attached screenshot). Neither the display value nor the internal name.
It also seems to be neither in the order of object ID value nor the order in which the classifications was added to the Part.
The Sort order property of the classification node also does not seem to influence this.

 

Hopefully someone knows a way to influence the order in which the classification groups are displayed.

 

Thanks in advance

Magnus

Hi @MagnusOlofsson 

based on article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS196837

I would say the order is based on time when the Node was added to the root classification.

I can be wrong but if you don't see any rule then it can be true

Hi @HelesicPetr,

Thank you for your suggestion. It is possible that this is the reason.

What confused me though is that if I am not mistaken the number part of the object ID is normally increasing over time.

For some of the classification groups on a particular Part I notice that the object ODs of the corresponding classification nodes are these:

OR%3Acom.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCStructEnumAttTemplate%3A7499824483
OR%3Acom.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCStructEnumAttTemplate%3A7499824431
OR%3Acom.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCStructEnumAttTemplate%3A7499825294

So not displayed sorted by increasing object ID at least. Perhaps there is some other internal ID that I can not see and/or the object ID is not uniformly increasing over time.

Could it be that the order in which the classification groups are displayed on the wtPart details page is actually undefined? Or controlled by some parameter which we can not control.
