Enabling bus sorting by name in the Simulink Type Editor

How to enable bus sorting by name in the Simulink Type Editor?

[Grigorii Nefedov]

It can be done by

h = Simulink.typeeditor.app.Editor.getInstance;
a = h.getListComp;
a.enableSort;

which doesn't make much sense because it also sorts bus fields.

Is there a way to sort buses, but not fields?

Hi Girgorii,

Bus elements are typically displayed in the order in which they are defined or added to the bus object. However, the elements can be manually reordered using a MATLAB script.

Here is an example MATLAB script to sort the bus elements:

%Create bus elements

elems(1) = Simulink.BusElement;

elems(1).Name = 'Sine';

elems(2) = Simulink.BusElement;

elems(2).Name = 'Chirp';

elems(3) = Simulink.BusElement;

elems(3).Name = 'Bees';

%Create the bus object

Sinusoidal = Simulink.Bus;

Sinusoidal.Elements = elems;

% Get the elements of the bus object

elements = Sinusoidal.Elements;

% Sort the elements by name

[~, idx] = sort({elements.Name});

sortedElements = elements(idx);

% Assign the sorted elements back to the bus object

Sinusoidal.Elements = sortedElements;

For nested bus, apply the similar sorting logic recursively to each bus.

Hope this helps.

I want to sort buses in Type Editor window, not bus elements.
