I have one module in which I have a column displaying out-links from a higher-level requirements document.

Last time I used the view to export a traceability report, the order of the items in the traceability column were correct... ie.

PTS-35
PTS-46
PTS-57  (where these are the object IDs, in the order they appear in the text).

Loading the report view this time, the items in the traceability column are now listed in the reverse order!  ie.

PTS-57
PTS-46
PTS-35

Why is this, given that the view and the layout DXL code is unchanged? Does anybody know how to overcome this?

I have seen this problem posted on the forum https://support.telelogic.com/en/doors/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=58&threadid=1465
but no solution as far as I can see.

DOORS order is based upon item id -- therefore someone may of deleted the links the recreated the links.

Solution -- modify the layout dxl to sort by either the sort function of array or skip list etc.

I don't really understand this because the traceability view was used many times before and it appeared in the correct order. No links were deleted and recreated for these modules. It just seems like the same DXL code is doing a different thing.

Is using a skip list the only solution to this? I'm a bit puzzled how to embed this to DOOR's own Traceability Wizard-generated DXL code.

If I recall -- baselineing will affect the order of display

And no you don't have to use skip list. As I said initially you can sort an array of numbers.

To learn how to modify a layout wizard script select the dxl help file and lookup layoutDXL -- or use this need to justify to your boss the need to go to telelogic class on dxl.

Over a year ago, this issue created quite a mess for us . I had a product release and needed to do compares of documents showing hundreds of pages of links. Needless to say... It was a not pretty as I had to figure this mess out and there were lots of modules in the Trace Analysis.

Here is what I found out (as nearly as I can remember ;-) (I think this was back a V7x)

If you create a new link, save the module then reopen it, the link list created by the wizard will appear in reverse order. Do it again and it's back in the original order. Same for deleting links. I was able to reproduce this every time. Any time you loop thru the link module to follow links this happened.

I am not sure if Telelogic ever fixed this in the new release because I no longer depend on DOORs to order anything. EVERYTHING that I need ordered goes into a skip list for sorting. Displaying thru Skip lists has proven to be fast (even for long strings) and has solved my problem.
