Könnten Sie mir bitte helfen.
Sorry, dass ich dich nicht auf deutsch anspreche.

I have a problem with the labeling action, when using the own action,
sorting order is ignored, but filtering works fine.
This action works fine for Reports, but doesn`t work completely for Labeling.

although the manual says:
https://www.eplan.help/en-US/infoportal/content/api/2.8/API_LABELING_MODIFICATION.html
"
If an action by this name is registered in EPLAN, it is called during label generation.
With the action, you can influence the objects, which are reported and the ORDER in which they appear.
"
example of action:

class SortAction : IEplAction
    {

        public bool Execute(ActionCallingContext oActionCallingContext)
        {
            string mode = "";
            string objects = "";

            oActionCallingContext.GetParameter("mode", ref mode);
            oActionCallingContext.GetParameter("objects", ref objects);

            if (mode == "ModifyObjectList")
            {
                List<string> objectsList = objects.Split(';').ToList();
                var rnd = new Random();
                objectsList = objectsList.OrderBy(item => rnd.Next()).ToList();
                oActionCallingContext.AddParameter("objects", String.Join(";", objectsList));
            }
            return true;
        }

        public void GetActionProperties(ref ActionProperties actionProperties)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public bool OnRegister(ref string Name, ref int Ordinal)
        {
            Name = "rnd";
            Ordinal = 20;
            return true;
        }
    }

Hello,
unfortunately i don't have an API license available, so i could only test this in scripting. Your program code seems to work, but EPLAN behaves strangely when you change the program code, this change is not always executed in the label export. As if there would be some kind of cache there? After a restart of EPLAN the program code change always works.

It would be best to contact the API support of EPLAN.

Thanks for the answer.
I changed the code, so now that it can be run via scripts in EPLAN 2.9

public class ReSortAction
{
    [DeclareAction("rnd")]
    public bool Execute(ActionCallingContext oActionCallingContext)
    {
        string mode = "";
        string objects = "";
        oActionCallingContext.GetParameter("mode", ref mode);
        oActionCallingContext.GetParameter("objects", ref objects);

        if (mode == "ModifyObjectList")
        {
            System.Collections.Generic.List<string> objectsList = objects.Split(';').ToList();
            var rnd = new Random();
            objectsList = objectsList.OrderBy(item => rnd.Next()).ToList();
    oActionCallingContext.AddParameter("objects", String.Join(";", objectsList));
        }
return true;
    }
}

Having looked in more detail.
I found out that when i start 'export / labeling' the report type "Summarized parts list" - the script works properly.
The problem occur when labeling the "Connection list" report type is started.

Connection list ignore sorting action.

Can you try reproduce it?
