Defining the Position Property of a Tree Node

The value in the Position property of a tree node includes an integer or a set of integers that are separated by periods, such as 1.1.2. Use the following format:

• Define the top (highest) level node with a position of 1. For example, x.1.2, where x specifies the top level node.

• Define immediate child nodes of the top level node with a value of 1.x, where x specifies the order of the node relative to other nodes that reside on the same level.

For example, to display the Activities folder after the Attachments folder rather than before the Attachments folder:

• Set the Position value for the Activities folder to 1.2.

• Set the Position value for the Attachments folder to 1.1.

To attach a child node at the third level, you can define the Position property for the new node so that the first two integers match the position of the parent node. For example, assume you define the RMAs and Service Orders node at position 1.4. To attach a node to the RMAs and Service Orders node, you define the new node with a position of 1.4.1. The farthest digit in a position typically specifies the order relative to other nodes that exist on the same level.
