OK, what about sorting the names of Tag Groups?

Any updates on this?

The tag groups and other dropdowns still don’t sort in any discernable order. And the OPC Item Path in UDTs isn’t viewable from the tag editor without clicking on the link, then on Edit, then looking at/ editing the connection path, then clicking Commit/ Revert. Even just increasing the character count on this field would be an improvement over how it currently is.

We’re in the process of overhauling the tag editor to offer better information density and usability. No timeline on when that will be completed, but it is happening.
