Some users are driven to use aliases for as much as possible, and we have a list of about 400 aliases.

Would it be feasible to add on option to sort the alias list by description?

I have attached a simple example that shows how we use a 'print out' after manually sorting it by description. It groups similar aliases together, of course, based on its description.

Thank you.

I've done that by opening the .dca in word, and after a few search and replace, paste into a table, and sort by 2nd column, can create that list in about 5 minutes or less.

Thank you MARK!

For whatever reason I am just now seeing this, again THANK YOU for adding this sort in DataCAD.

That addition eliminates the need to manually create that sorted list every time we add an alias and eliminates the alias that opens the list.

The group that I was working with is on DataCAD 20.

Thank you again!
