How do I sort the NX Assembly Arrangements list?

How do I sort the NX Assembly Arrangements list?

How do I sort the NX Assembly Arrangements list?

(OP)
Efficiency question.
On any NX assembly, I can right-click and see the option for "Arrangements". In our top-level assembly, we have over 50 arrangements to choose from, so in order for me to select the latest one that the team created, I have to right-click the top assembly, select "Arrangements", then, as the displayed list is concatenated, select "Edit" to see the complete list, scroll all the way down and double-click on the latest. The team does set a default arrangement to a fairly recent one, but we are all usually going back and forth between a short list at the end of the list. Is there any way to re-order/sort the concatenated Arrangements list, so that the quick-selection list provided in the right-click "Arrangements" view is shown from bottom-top, instead of top-bottom?

RE: How do I sort the NX Assembly Arrangements list?

Might be possible with the NX Open tools but from my limited experience trying to do something similar it won't be easy if you're not a programmer.

My suggestion in your scenario would be to use the Assembly Arrangements button, part of the Assemblies toolbar, and either assign a keyboard shortcut or Spaceball button to it. It pulls up the full list without having to right-click and navigate through the menus.

RE: How do I sort the NX Assembly Arrangements list?

I am curious about your workflow, as I have not encountered any assemblies with that many arrangements configurations before. Are you maybe using arrangements to capture what if designs?
