How can I organise / order the plots saved in a data table?

ZogKos — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 08:45:07 GMT

I have several plots saved in my data tables. I save them as I do my analysis, so there is no specific order the plots are created. After I have created several plots, I would like to find a way to organise them without spending time dragging them up or down. If there is a way that JMP puts them in alphabetical order or any other option.

I would say that you can rename the scripts with specific prefix (e.g. A1_plotResponse, A2_plotLimits, B1_neuralModel, B2_GenRegModel ), and drag and change the order by hand. Now you can use the script mentioned in this Community Post that addresses the same problem, to order them with an Alphabetical order. Another way is to group them so select the scripts that "belong" in the same group, right click and group.

If you frequently use certain plots/scripts in sequence or in general, consider creating a workflow by saving the scripts to a Workflow Builder. This allows you to run multiple scripts in sequence and enable/disable them.

Another idea for organizing in general is working with JMP Journals or JMP Projects. With journals you can put your scripts but also text, images, data in one presentation type file in JMP and with Projects you can have files, JMP data tables, scripts all in one file and also the platforms open in the same window but different tabs which is different from the classic way of multiple windows.

I hope these will help.

Thanks Spyro for the reply

All options you posted are useful and good to know.

The script in the Community Post to set everything in Alphabetical order, also very handy and useful.
