Hi to all
I need help about the feature "Group selected activities in the initial order", as I don't find anything in the forum, apart of the topic " Modifying the initial order of the activities", in which Liviu announces this new feature and speak about the "put_order##x" new tag.
I need that the Activity "A" is placed before "B", and "B" before all other activities, that must be placed in their "official" order.
To do this, firstly I activated the feature in the Options -> Advanced menu
After that, I tried to use the tag "put_order##1" for "A", and "put_order##2" for "B", and no tags for other activities, but without success.... :-(
Where I'm wrong?
I will really appreciate your help.
I profite also to ask you how can I impose to the program to put an activity AFTER all other activities, placed in their official order (total order of placing: "A", "B", ... all other activities..., "Z")
Thank you to you all, and especially to Liviu and Volker for their great, great work
Ciao

Hello!
No, the "put_order##x" tag was not implemented; activate the feature, then go to Advanced in Timetable tab or Advanced menu. The dialog has a help button -> read it.
You can group some activities together. You can only group some activities together, but I hope you'll find a way to do what you need.
The order of two activities between themselves is not very important. The order is important when many activities are involved.
Please let me know.
Hi Liviu!
Thank you for your prompt reply!
I'll check it ASAP.
Sorry, but I didn't understand correctly the behaviour of this feature, and I misunderstood the content of the topic I read (...
So, do you confirm that there isn't other possibility to change the initial order, apart of this one, and that the idea about using tags hasn't been developed anymore?
I can understand that the initial order is not so important, but i'd like to give "precedence" to a colleague with few constraints than others, but without fixed slots.
In any case, I'll try go deeper in this feature, so to verify if it's useful for me.
Thank you again
Have a nice sunday

Hello, Luca,
I am not sure I understand: "i'd like to give "precedence" to a colleague with few constraints than others, but without fixed slots."
The feature as it is now in FET should work: add the activities of that colleague and the first activity in the initial order (you can see this in the generate timetable dialog), all these activities in a group activities in initial order item.
Edit: if you want to place some activities lower in the order, associate with the last activity in the initial order.
We could even develop a custom version for you, if needed, but I don't think we really need. You just need to play a bit with the feature.
Thank you! You too!
The existing feature is what I need, no needs of custom developments!
Thank you for your willingness and sorry again for my initial misunderstanding!
I am glad it is useful! :)
Let me know if you succeed.
