Layers list
-
I wonder if there's any way to sort the layers by the serial number that would indicate when the parts of that layer are instaled. The problem is that layers can be now sorted only by name, colors and visibility. My wish is to have a column in the layer drop list where I would determine serial numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....) that would alloud me to sort layer by sequence of integration.
Thanks for the answers

How about naming them sequentially - 01 Ground floor ... 12 Hardware as a workaround

I don't think this would be OK cause then you can not sort them by 'groups' they belong. Usualy I name layers like for example window_80x80, window_120x140, door_outside door_90x210, door_room door_90x120
If I would give the indication number infront of the layer, then it is not possible to sort them by alphabet and that's pretty handy a lot of times.

Well you could learn Ruby and make yourself a plugin.
Or you could dream up a compromise like giving blocks of similar items the same number prefix - 5 window_80x80, 5 window_120x140, 6 door_outside door_90x210, 6 door_room door_90x120.
In other words you could get a better solution for you than exists by changing the technology or changing the information, or both. In the end it will be down to you, so think deeply about it.

Does really nobody has any solution?
