How to change Address Space order

[MatthewBoss96]

How can I change the order in which Objects/Methods/Variables are displayed in the Address Space? Currently they are ordered in an alphabetical order, but I want to have control over the order in which the elements are shown in the Address Space.
I checked whether it could be solved by using their identifiers, but this did not have any effect on the order thus far.
Could anyone please help me out?

its opcua client dependend how they order the browse results... the opc ua server does not care about such things!

the addressspace is a unsorted key:value store on serverside

Hi Andreas, I already thought something like that, but I cannot find anything related to the address space when using Settings -> Configure UA Expert. I also checked the Server and the Address_space classes, but I do not have a clue how I can use these to set the order to something different than alphabetical?

Ua-Expert uses the "BrowseNames" in alphabetical order to display the tree there is nothing i know you can change about it -> UaExpert sends a BrowseRequest (e.g. Objects-Node) and gets a BrowseResponse back which is simplified a List of Nodes/NodeIds and UaExpert just sorts them according to the BrowseName... not sure why its important for you? because a ua system usually don't care about at all!

Okay thanks for the information. An alphabetical order is less intuitive in my current situation where I would desire to have more control over the order of my objects, but its not a big deal. I was just wondering if this option was available or if it could become a feature request.
