Hi, It is very cumbersome to look up the items when browsing the devices because they are not sorted. I will be nice if the items where sorted alphabetically. Thanks jdelgado ---

Have you upgraded to 7.1.5? If so, what exactly is not sorted? ---

Hi Carl, I will have to check to see what version does the customer installed. What was not sorted was the items when you do an OPC Browse on a device ( AB CompactLogix) to get the items to bind them to transaction groups the list of tags display on the tree control. Thanks ---

That was a known issue of 7.1.4, but should be resolved in 7.1.5. ---

Hi, The Modbus-UA server in version 7.1.5(b5670) using java 1.6.0\_21 isn’t sorting either. ---

On a similar thread, in the Ignition Designer’s “Basic OPC/Group Items” window where all my group tags are listed, those are also not sortable (unless I’m missing something). They appear in the order that I added them, but I would love to be able to sort them by Item Name or Target Name. Looking for a tag by name would be MUCH easier. I am running 7.1.7, downloaded yesterday. Cas ---

I'd like this as well .. both the ability to sort and the ability to rearrange items manually would be nice. ---

Yes, this has been requested a number of times. We’ll see what we can do. ---
