What happened to the Alphabet?
I agree with your sentiment. As a developer, I can see why this may have been done. This is only an assumption based on my 6+ years coding custom studies. I am not an expert C++ programmer, and I learn new things every day, but it does make sense. I assume new settings were added to the bottom of the list, because it was easier than taking a chance on breaking the menus for other settings. The first item on the list is number 0, the next 1, etc. Those values may be hardcoded in many places in the application, and the decision was made that alphabetical order was not a priority as more time would be spent fixing potential issues and debugging them, than playing it safe and adding new choices to the bottom of the list. This puts code reliability first and frees up developer time for other enhancements. I think of it as a minor annoyance. I don't know how hard it would be to sort all the subgraph draw styles, but it is something that many users have to deal with. |

there was no response from support team Here's why... The Chart Studies Window is being completely redesigned by SC Engineering. Patiently waiting but also quite anxious whether the new design will be better or worse. I really hope the engineers incorporate some good "user experience" features of IDE required by algo developers i.e. redo/undo, embed notepad++ like format and version control. The current design is exhausting with too many darn clicks required.
