Sorting Schematic Instance by location

How do I sort schematic instances ( cv~>instHeaders ) based on the X location on the schematic?

    I suspect the most likely explanation is that the instances are not all part of the same instHeader. It's only sorting within each instHeader.

    Please change the second loop to:

     foreach(ih cv~>instHeaders
       when( !member(ih~>libName skipLibList)
         printf("instHeader: %L %L %L master=%L\n" ih~>libName ih~>cellName ih~>viewName ih~>master)
         instancesSortedbyX=sort(ih~>instances lambda((a b) xCoord(a~>xy) < xCoord(b~>xy)))
         foreach(inst instancesSortedbyX     
           instNameList2 = cons(inst~>name instNameList2)
             printf("\tname=%s\txy=%L\n", inst~>name, inst~>xy)    
         )
       )
     )

    and then post what the output looks like.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
