Hi Chis, This is a higher priority of the other questions I've had, and I'd be a sorry excuse for an engineer in can't actually ffind another element to work on. I tried various option fields in the add ports interface. Take a look at the screengrab. You can see that I can't find a way to add a leading zero so I can sort from HDSDI-1 though 72. As you can see, the zero doesn't appear and the sort sticks HDSDI-2 right before HDSDI-20 etc.

You need to create the ports with a higher leading zero count.
We have this modified in v9 but for v8 you need to delete the ports and recreate them with leading zeros. See the attached screen shot.

Works great. I don't know why I hadn't tried that during my experimentation. BTW, what tool in windows did you used for screen grab and annotation. I use command-shift-4 on my mac, but snipping tool on Windows doesn't have a key-command and annotating arrows. I'm guessing that you've been using Camtasia or equivalent on your tutorials.

Camtasia for the videos. Snagit and its editor for the screenshots and annotations.
