Sort Groups

Purpose

In some cases, groups can be sporadically organized within the components tab. Use Sort Groups option to organize the groups using a sorting routine. Sort Groups does not change the order of components within the groups.

The sorting routine looks for the first set of numbers and organizes them as one multi-digit number. This results in an order of 1,2...9,10 instead of 1,10,2...9.

Prerequisites

Before sorting groups, multiple component groups must exist within the project.
