Tree Element Sort by Column

[Norm Kirchner]

I have a tree that only has 2 genereations, top level parent items and their children (will never change)

I am attempting to sort by column, and I've got it figured out how the children need to be re-arranged, but I am not seeing an easy way to re-arrange the children. and deleting and re-inserting is not an option because of the variety of properties associated with a specific element.

Does anyone know how to programatically move an item in a tree?

So I found how to move an item in a tree programatically, and that's what all the strikeout is above. {found 6.45 seconds after hitting submit post}. But in the spirit of sharing, I'll post my code for the "tree - sort-by-column" code here once done.

Hi Norm,

you probably already know this, but if you only want to sort the Tree-items by one column, you can do that with an Invoke node.

Good grief. I must be really off my game.

For the record. No, I didn't see that method, and yes that is what I needed.
