How to sort instances in layout based on instance name?

ssram

Hi,

How can i sort instances in layout based on instance name?

For example, if i've 50 instances named "inv<0:49>", how do i sort them all based on the instance name in an ascending/descending order?

Is there an built-in function that can do this? Or anyone has got a SKILL solution/approach to this?

Thanks

    By sort, do you mean to sort them physically (so they are placed in order, left to right or top to bottom)? Or do you just mean sort a SKILL list of such instances?

    If it's the latter, then:

    listOfInsts=sort(listOfInsts lambda((a b) minusp(alphaNumCmp(a~>name b~>name))))

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    I am writng a code to join two bus connections. horizontal and vertical.

    Is there a way to sort the path list with the BBOX> sometime while selecting the order is very random.

    Please let me know how to sort a path list using bbox or begin pt or end pt.

    Thanks,

    Nirmal.

    Nirmal,

    This doesn't appear to have a great deal to do with the original topic of this old post (other than both having the word "sort" in them), and the forum guidelines ask you not to post on the end of old threads anyway. I suggest you start a new thread.
