[solved] changing the order of variables in log file

JoshuaBaker

As title suggests, is this possible and if so, how?

thank you

The logger always stores the variables alphabetically. See this response in an earlier thread.

If you would want to have this in a different order, you will have to implement your own logger using inline scripting. This wouldn't necessarily be too difficult, but I would imagine it being too much work for something that seems quite trivial.

Might I ask why you would like to have a different kind of ordering?

i would just want it to be clearer. i.e. have fname in column 1 and then all the relevant variables following it. As it stands in an experiment i am building at the moment, fname appears about 5 columns in and it is not so clear straight away as to which trial was which. I can of course rearrange the order of columns in my spreadsheet, i just thought it may be possible to select the order in the logger item its'self. Could this function be implemented into a future version of OS maybe?

This is why I wanted to know what the reason behind your question was. I issued a feature request for the customizable order
