When using the Cloner Element in a generated dropdown menu, the default (and apparently only) option for the order of entries is in node order... Is there any way (or any suggestipons) as to how this could be changed to Alphabetic order ??

Hi,
Why not simply arrange the nodes in the tour browser in the order you want?
This will not effect anything other then node order in cloners and maps etc.
Just click + drag a nod in the tour browser to move it.

To pursue this interesting idea further:
What would be the best way to proceed with a new project?
First name all panorama files correctly, sort them by name in the Finder and then import them into Pano2VR, then the alphabetical order would already be there, right?

Yes. Alphabetic and/or Numeric file naming conventions. As for large tours, dragging the images isn't ideal. You can also group images in folders and drag those to the tour browser and the folder name will be applied as a tag.

Thanks Hopki,

Yes... this seems to be the "simple" solution... however, it is a resaonably large (80+) node tour... and the nodes are currently laid out in a logical (walkthrough) sequence... with approximately 20 of them named and used in the cloner.... If the menu nodes are arranged alphabetically then there will be no logical sequence for the rest of them making it an absolute nightmare to update/maintain.

Any other suggestions ??

Are there already plans to integrate an "automatic alphabetical order button" in the cloner menue (in the skin) in V7?
If not, please set it on the wish-list ;-)
