Ok, so I need to make sure that all nodes on a given level go in a particular order.

For instance

                 Parent

Child 1      Child 2      Child 3

Child 1,2, and 3 must be in  that order. For some reason, everytime I build the diagram the nodes come in a completely different order. I read another post that says that you sort based on the shape's key. Following that logic I set it so that the nodes would have a key like "01","02","03" so that it would sort correctly. That strategy didn't seem to help at all.

 This seems like this should be pretty standard stuff so I must just be missing something. Can someone help me find out how to sort the nodes?

 Thanks,

David

 

This is a common issue. 

The nodes should be sorted according to the zorder of the shape, items that have naturally been added firs to the diagram will appear to the left - however there is a bug preventing this from being applied to the layout in some instances.

A fix is being prepared and should be available shortly.
