The Compare VI tool is immensely useful, except when identifying changes in case statements, where it is easily "confused". Take for example two VIs where the cases in the case statement are identical except that in one VI there is an additional case at the end, or has a renamed case. When you run the Compare VI tool, everything is out of whack. It shows differences between two case that are named totally different, ignoring the other case that is named exactly the same. When this happens, you end up manually comparing. It would be great if the Compare VI tool would ignore the case order and compare the actual case names when doing a compare, much like a text compare tool would. Maybe even make it an optional setting.
