Issues are wrongly sorted in navigator tab

[drgreb]

We have a naming convention for issues. Basically it is the discipline which is assigned for issue and 3 digit number.

BCF does not currently have any property to preserve the sorting of the issues, as you can see from:
buildingSMART/BCF-XML#54

But maybe we could implement custom sorting from the BCFier UI (by date or title).

[drgreb]

Yeah, probably UI sorting would be enough, because reading new order properties from BCF file and changing them is a resource demanding feature. Also, there could be few sorting options - by name, by assigned person (), possible priority of issue etc. It all can be implemented via software, while leaving BCF file a container role.

Hello,
we're using BCFier on Revit and we have the same problem to sort issue. Since the previous post (febrary 2016), is there any update to sort issue by name or status?

[teocomi]

Hi @blecrioux unfortunately there is no timeline and I'm not expecting to be able to work on BCFier in the short term, but there might be contributions from others.

[teocomi]

@drgreb I've implemented BCF 2.1 sorting in a new beta version, please let me know if you have a chance to test it: https://github.com/teocomi/BCFier/releases/tag/2.2.0beta

Hi @teocomi
I tested beta version 2.2.0 and it seems that sorting issues works correctly. Thank you very much! :)
A other possibility could be very interseting too: sorting issue by topic status or topic type. Do you think it's possible?

[teocomi]

@blecrioux yes definitely, will add a new feature request, but won't be able to address it in the short term...
