You can sort compartment items in Unified Modeling Language (UML)
data diagrams in ascending or descending alphabetical order to reduce the
complexity or increase the level of abstraction in data diagrams. By default,
compartment items are listed in the same order as they are in the Properties
view and the Data Project Explorer or Database Explorer.
To filter compartment items by name, visibility style, or return
type in an ascending or descending alphabetical order:
- Right-click a shape.
- Click .
- In the Sort/Filter Compartment Items window,
click a compartment and complete one or more of the following steps:
- To sort compartment items by visibility, in the table, click the Visibility column
heading.
- To sort compartment items by visibility while filtering by selection,
select or clear the check boxes for each compartment item that you want to
make visible or not.
- To sort compartment items by name, in the table, click the Name column
heading.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
