Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2018b
Operating System: Win 10
Hello,
Please be patient with me as I am not too sure how to explain my problem clearly. I am sorry if it is confusing.
I have multiple samples with 3 different variable parameters, all of which appear in the workbook name with the same naming structure and number of characters. Example:
A100C200m02M for 200 °C, 100 min, 0.2M
A100C200m06M for 200 °C, 100 min, 0.6M
A100C200m10M for 200 °C, 100 min, 1.0M
and so on.
I store all workbook names in a string array; since I used a doc -ef W command to loop through all of them to save them in the array, I assume the array entries are stored alphabetically:stringArray ArrSamples;
doc -ef W
{
win -a %(page.name$);
string sName$ = page.name$;
ArrSamples.Add(sName$);
}
My plots consist of 1 varying parameter, where the other 2 are fixed. In the names above, temperature and time are fixed. Whenever I plot my graphs, sometimes the plots are disorganized, as in:
0.6M
0.2M
1.0M
instead of
0.2M
0.6M
1.0M
just like the list of workbooks is sorted in the project explorer. It doesn't happen in all graphs, so I can't quite fathom the reason behind this. The grouped plots show as a colour increment, so a badly sorted group makes the data much harder to interpret.
I know I can manually reorder my plots; however, I am looking to do it programmatically, since there are over 100 graphs in total. I haven't been able to find anything similar to this within Origin Help files or Labtalk forum, although I might have missed something.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you. |

Your assumption is wrong.

Can you provide the code to make the graph from multiple workbooks? Have you checked whether the book name is properly ordered in the string array? Thanks.

After what Castiel said, I checked the entries in the string array. Strangely enough, all of them were in alphabetical order, except for the last 6 or 7.
To solve this, I added the command ArrSamples.Sort() right after the array is created and it's working fine now. I really thought the entries were already sorted since, at a first glance, everything seemed alright.
Thank you both! |

Sort graph plots "alphabetically"
