By default, the Analysis window lists physicians alphabetically by full name. You can change this behavior so physicians are ordered by their signature text or their Physician Numbers.

This behavior is controlled by the physicianSort setting in the SD4E.txt configuration file. Change this setting to one of the following values:

  • signaturename —This setting orders physicians' names alphabetically by physician signature, which is configured in the Signature Text field of the Physician Information Settings dialog box.

  • physnumbernumeric —This setting orders physicians' names numerically by Physician Number, which is configured in the Physician Number field of the Physician Information Settings dialog box. This setting will not work if Physician Numbers are alphanumeric.

  • physnumberalpha —This setting orders physicians' names alphabetically by Physician Number. If Physician Numbers begin with a numeric character, they are still sorted alphabetically (where 100 precedes 11, which precedes 2).

If the physicianSort setting does not exist, or if it contains an invalid value, names will be sorted alphabetically by full name.
