quick sort testing..

this is a golden rule - click its head cell then you have sorted one

0. as is

1. source sort

2. target sort (reverse)

actually, it is just a viewer not The editor 

but, if you click it, it guides you to The editor's proper segment instantly.

Hi Paul,

I have asked this several times already, here and there online, but have as of yet never figured out how to sort segments alphabetically in Studio. This is a very useful feature for a technical translator such as myself, and would be VERY WELCOME!!!!

Any chance you have a trick up your sleeve to do it?

Many other CAT tools can already do it, and I think it is a really sorely missing feature in Studio.  

Michael

PS: Can someone pls release a little App to do this? I'd happily pay for it!!!!

Hi Paul,

I think it would be extremely useful to count on a sorting feature in Studio. It would also be great to be able to sort segments by category (index, etc.).

Just in case the more we are asking, the more you will think about it.

Thanks,

Pilar

A simple workaround might be to export your translation to Excel (free app in AppStore), sort the segments in Excel, add the Excel file to your project, translate, update translation memory.

Then pretranslate your proper file, which should pull in the translations done in the sorted Excel file. I know, not quite as slick as just pressing a sort button, but should work without too much hassle.

Or make a little lookup feature: On confirming one segment, lookup the source segment text in an Excel file that's open on the other screen. That Excel file can be sorted alphabetically.

I don't have any use for such a feature, but it does not seem like a huge task to cobble something together.

Thanks, I will try it

I am still sorely missing this feature in Studio. It would greatly speed up the giant technical job I am currently working on.

I appreciate that it might not be easy given Trados Studio's underlying technology, but this is surely a rather standard feature in a decent CAT tool these days?

Has anyone devised a way to do this yet? With a regex in the Advanced Display Filter 2.0?
