Right now the search window results have 3 columns, a check box, a number, and a string containing 4 pieces of info (the vi name, window type, object type and element type).
My idea is to reformat the last column into 4 columns. The results would be the exact same, however they would be in 4 columns. Then make the multi-column list box sort-able. So if I click the list on the top of window type, then all the diagrams would be sorted together and all the panels would be together.
The most useful part of this for me would be sorting by object type. If I look for something very common and get say 500 hits in my project, sorting by object type would be a big help. Now I can quickly locate the group of hits for, like, an "EnumConstant", or whatever type of object I'm interested in. Now I don't have to slowly look though the whole list looking for the object types I'm interested in.
