Enterprise architect: Order of entry/exit functions in states

In my state machine, I have a state with several entry and exit functions. Enterprise Architect sorts them alphabetically, which can lead to something like this:

entry / a 
exit / b
entry / c

The entry and exit functions are what EA calls "element operations".

Question: How can I change the order of these operations? Ideally, I'd like to be able to order them in any way; if that is not possible, I'd like to have all the entry functions before the exit functions.

What I tried: In the "operations"-dialog, one can sort by columns; however, this does not change the order in the state diagram.

Solution

  • In the operations dialog you have select an operation and press Ctrl +UP or Ctrl +DOWN to change the order of the operation.

    Alternatively right click and choose option Move up or Move down
