move attribute

[S E D A H]

one more thing l want to move them in the channel box the order l get there.............

Unfortunately Maya doesn't have an interface for doing this yet. We requested it of them when they were demoing down here way back when, but I don't know if it got on a to-do list or not.

In the meantime, you can manually re-order things if you have to. Save your file out as a MayaAscii file, load that file in a text editor, search for your attribute name till you find the command that creates that attribute (addAttr), and re-order the order of creation of the attributes there. The order of attributes in the channel box is the order they were created in, so you have to adjust their ordering there.


Hope this helps,

This is such a cool script, it's probably on HighEnd3D, but I found it here. The original is posted as a text file above. Here is my renamed version. It works great! Thanks looksoon, wherever you are.




//You only need to have some control object you have created
