Need copntrol over order of Indicators dialog groups / sections

[ETFVoyageur]

I am not aware of any explicit ordering for "GroupName" categories. Minor experimenting makes me think they are still alphabetical, as in NinjaTrader 7.

That would be fine if NT 8 did it the same way that NT 7 did, but NT 8 does not. The NT 7 way to control order is with leading tabs, which do not get printed. In NT 8 the tabs do get printed, meaning that the category labels are scattered all over. Not good.

We need either an explicit ordering mechanism or else alphabetizing but with suppression of leading tabs for output onto the dialog.

Please let me know if the NinjaTrader.Gui.CategoryOrder() attribute provided in the other thread does not provide you a solution.

[Gui.CategoryOrder("Strings", 0)]
[Gui.CategoryOrder("Bools", 10)]
[Gui.CategoryOrder("Ints", 20)]
public class MyCustomIndicator : Indicator
{
	#region Properties	
	[Display(GroupName="Ints")]
	public int int_A
	{ get; set; }
	
	[Display(GroupName="Ints")]
	public int int_B
	{ get; set; }

	[Display(GroupName="Ints")]
	public int int_C
	{ get; set; }
	
	[Display(GroupName="Bools")]
	public bool bool_A
	{ get; set; }

	[Display(GroupName="Bools")]
	public bool bool_B
	{ get; set; }
	
	[Display(GroupName="Bools")]
	public bool bool_C
	{ get; set; }

	[Display(GroupName="Strings")]
	public string string_A
	{ get; set; }

	[NinjaScriptProperty]
	[Display(GroupName="Strings")]
	public string string_B
	{ get; set; }

	[NinjaScriptProperty]
	[Display(GroupName="Strings")]
	public string string_C
	{ get; set; }
        #endregion
}

Yes, I saw the other thread, tried it, and it works. That is just what I am looking for. Thanks.
