Adding sorting feature in dictionary window?

[clearpicks]

Can IB plugin add a sorting feature in dictionary window so that the entries in dictionary window can be sorted by exchange or symbol alphabet. Right now, the entries are listed by the time they were added. After adding new contracts and removing expired contracts for a whole, it is very easy to track whether all actively traded futures contracts have been added to dictionary or useless (expired) contracts have been purged.

Hi clearpics.

As far as I know, right now symbols are sorted by alias name. Probably you should update your IB plugin?

I am using IB plugin 1142 downloaded from

How can I get newest version of IB plugin?

Hmm. That's the newest one. Could take a screenshot of the dictionary window which has unsorted items?

Thanks.

Strange, it got sorted. When I was editing the dictionary, the newly added were appended to the last. It seems it gets sorted only after reopening the dictionary window, but this is good enough.
