Hello SC Team,
When searching and filtering drawings using the Manage Drawings window, it would be very helpful to make the headings "Drawing Type," "Text," "Anchors," etc. sortable similar to a table.
In this way, if I want to analyze only the markups of trades and backtesting in a given range of time, I could use the Anchor column to sort the items in the sequence according to the date.
Alternatively, if the search function could include searching for dates in the anchor column, that would achieve nearly the same objective.

Purpose:
Price action traders will often backtest months of data visually on the chart, we then sort and export this to Excel for analysis of results. This is not a pure backtest, but is usually the first test to pressure test a system or tweak to a system. If it works, then we will go further with more refined and time consuming analyses, including building a spreadsheet study, etc.

Thank you for your consideration!
As always,
Mike

As a workaround, I can select all, paste into Excel, convert to a table, and then sort in whatever way is needed.
Thanks
