Sorting group by role

[Fekete]

Can we use the groupby ROLE to sort a party frame so that the tank is always first followed by the healer?

I have tried to use groupby ROLE and I am not finding any documentation on what blizzard expects as a role....

Haven't tried this myself but you should be able to use groupingOrder with NONE, TANK, DAMAGER, HEALER as roles after defining groupBy ROLE

Take a look at http://wowprogramming.com/docs/secur.../Group_Headers

This how you do it

local Raid = self:SpawnHeader("oUF_AftermathhRaid", nil, 'solo,party,raid',
            'showPlayer', true,
            'showRaid', true,
            'showParty', false,
            'showSolo', false,
            'xoffset', 12,
            'yOffset', -5,
            'point', 'LEFT',
            'groupBy', 'ROLE',
            'maxColumns', 12,
            'unitsPerColumn', 5,
            'columnSpacing', 12,
            'columnAnchorPoint', 'TOP',
            'oUF-initialConfigFunction', [[
                self:SetWidth(42)
                self:SetHeight(38)
                self:SetScale(1)
            ]]
        )
        Raid:SetPoint('TOPLEFT', UIParent, 10, -9)

Does this work for custom party spawns aswell or only for party that gets spawned without the visibility attribute (ergo: only using solo, party, raid)?

This is how I spawn my raid but it ignores the sorting whatsoever.

--cfg
      attributes = {
        visibility          = "custom [@raid6,exists,group:raid] show;hide", --use "party,raid" to show this in party aswell
        showPlayer          = false,  --make this true to show player in party
        showSolo            = false,  --make this true to show while solo (only works if solo is in visiblity aswell
        showParty           = false,  --make this true to show raid in party
        showRaid            = true,   --show in raid
        point               = "TOP",
        yOffset             = 20,
        xoffset             = 0,
        maxColumns          = 8,
        unitsPerColumn      = 5,
        columnSpacing       = -20,
        columnAnchorPoint   = "LEFT",
      },
 
 
    --spawn raid
    local raid = oUF:SpawnHeader(
      "oUF_DiabloRaidHeader", --name
      nil,
      attr.visibility,
      "showPlayer",         attr.showPlayer,
      "showSolo",           attr.showSolo,
      "showParty",          attr.showParty,
      "showRaid",           attr.showRaid,
      "point",              attr.point,
      "yOffset",            attr.yOffset,
      "xoffset",            attr.xoffset,
      "groupFilter",        "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
      "groupBy",            "GROUP",
      "groupingOrder",      "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
      "sortMethod",         "NAME",
      "maxColumns",         attr.maxColumns,
      "unitsPerColumn",     attr.unitsPerColumn,
      "columnSpacing",      attr.columnSpacing,
      "columnAnchorPoint",  attr.columnAnchorPoint,
      
      "oUF-initialConfigFunction", ([[
        self:SetWidth(%d)
        self:SetHeight(%d)
        self:SetScale(%f)
      ]]):format(64, 64, cfg.units.raid.scale)
    )
    raid:SetPoint(cfg.units.raid.pos.a1,cfg.units.raid.pos.af,cfg.units.raid.pos.a2,cfg.units.raid.pos.x,cfg.units.raid.pos.y)

MAINTANK and MAINASSIST were the only valid roles last I checked. I would be happy if I were wrong, however.

Yeah, looks like this doesn't really work for party frames. I am currently using a modified version of oUF_lumen, but it looks like i need to rewrite my own soon.

-- Party Frames
		if cfg.show_PartyFrame and not cfg.party_inRaid_instead then
			self:SetActiveStyle('lumen - Party')
			local party = oUF:SpawnHeader('oUF_Party', nil, "custom  [group:party,nogroup:raid][@raid6,noexists,group:raid] show;hide",
			--local party = oUF:SpawnHeader('oUF_Party', nil, "party",
			--local party = oUF:SpawnHeader('oUF_Party', nil, "solo", "showSolo", true,  -- debug
			"showParty", cfg.show_PartyFrame, 
			"showPlayer", cfg.show_Player_inParty,
    		"xoffset", 7,
    		"columnSpacing", 7,
			"groupBy", "ROLE",
    		"groupingOrder", "TANK, HEALER, DAMAGER, DAMAGER, DAMAGER",
			"point", "LEFT",
			"columnAnchorPoint", "TOP",
			"oUF-initialConfigFunction", ([[
			self:SetWidth(%d)
			self:SetHeight(%d)
			self:SetScale(%d)
    		]]):format(cfg.party_width, cfg.party_height, cfg.scale))
			party:SetPoint("CENTER", cfg.party_pos_x, cfg.party_pos_y)
		end
