crpd Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hello folks, new guy here, Is there a way to change the order the audio zones show up when wanting to select? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Order is based on how the order was when rooms were added to the project. You can move the order around but just dragging and dropping, but I recall that option didn’t work for one particular spot, maybe the zones page?

But you can segment it by floor which might help depending on preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking about the zones page, and the answer that I got from tech support was this: "The list is actually the order the rooms were added to the project, so the only way to get them in the correct order is to build the project in the order you want it to show up in the zones page."

lippavisual Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, now I remember, it is based on the ID of the room in the project. So dragging and dropping will not change anything. The order must be created from initial project creation. Tech support was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 This sounds like a good Wish List Item. Would be nice to reorder the rooms in the Zones selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake, was thinking room selection page not zones page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Same can be said for intercom stations- last-in, last-shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatheed Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Every device, room, floor, and so on in a Control4 project receives a unique device ID number. The last-in, last-shown order means Navigator is sorting by device ID. You can even search the Composer Pro system tree by device ID now. Not that this information helps the situation... but...

crpd Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Where is that ID hidden? Can that be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you are referring to here. Yes, you can sort connections by tree or list but what is this ID? Is this new beyond 2.9.1?

Is this new beyond 2.9.1? It is not new. The device ID is used in the project to identify unique devices / instances of device drivers / proxies. They are created in order of addition to a given project so they will vary from system to system. If you look at the underlying XML file (the actual project source), you can see them. You can also see some if you look at variables (especially system variables) where you will see the device ID and then an index into the list of variables related to that driver. I suspect you could change the order in which the zones are displayed by manually editing the XML file, but that is not something for the feint of heart and something few dealers would understand or know how to do (and certainly not supported by C4) I would love to see a function in a future release that allows you to select the order in which the zones are displayed because it's very annoying in its current implementation.

thegreatheed Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yes, the searching is new. Maybe OS 2.9.1? It's not exposed in any major way, but if you're combing through logs, for example, the device ID is exposed. You can then go back to composer and search that ID number and it pulls up the device.
