Up to this point I have been using v 4.1.4.2 There, when choosing insert -> Variables -> User Fields the list of all defined fields was sorted alphabetically. However in 4.3.0.4 fields are shown in the way they are written in content.xml file.
Hi Michal, I have a usual view there using LO 4.3.0.4 with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can you provide a small screenshot, please? Regards, Jacques
Created attachment 104617 [details] sorted 4.1.4.2 view
Created attachment 104618 [details] Unsorted 4.3.0.4 view
Screenshots provided. Note, that the difference might be a feature (after all not sorting that list sounds like a valid approach), but if that's the case what is lacking is the ability to go back to older versions behaviour Also, I checked 4.2.6 and fields were also shown not-sorted.
Created attachment 107718 [details] ODT containing user fields "w2", "x1", "x10", "y10", and "Y1". Tested under GNU/Linux using: v3.3.4.1 OOO330m19 Build: 401 v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 Build: 602 v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24 v4.1.6.2 Build ID: 40ff705089295be5be0aae9b15123f687c05b0a v4.2.6.3 Build ID: 3fd416d4c6db7d3204c17ce57a1d70f6e531ee21 v4.3.2.2 Build ID: edfb5295ba211bd31ad47d0bad0118690f76407d v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: e21f6e3838a64f6c2517479d021e943e2ffcab94 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-10-10_09:04:45 v3.3-4.1 all display the Selection list entries in variable name order, while v4.2-4.4 all display the Selection list entries in the order they were created. This appears to be a regression in handling as the order variables were created in is of little use to a user.
As per comment 5, status set to NEW. Summary amended for clarity. Version set to 4.2.6.3, but may date from earlier in v4.2 series. Operating system set to All. Severity set to normal, as hunting for a variable in a lengthy list can be tedious, given creation order. Tag PossibleRegression added to Whiteboard.
