State Gantt chart rows sequence shuffling after Warmup Time

stateGanttRowsSequence_WarmupTime.fsm

There is a State Gantt chart for a Group containing more than one elements say five Processors (Processor1, Processor2, Processor3, Processor4 and Processor5).

Warmup time is defined. So, data of the chart is resetting to zero. While resetting data, sequence of Rows (Processor5, Processor1, Processor2, Processor3 and Processor4) of the chart is shuffling.

At the warmup time, the Statistics Collector behind the chart removes all "finished" rows, keeping only one row object that holds the current state and the time at which the object changed into this state. The ordering of the these entries will depend on the times the objects last changed their state.

You can fix this by installing the chart components (from the Advanced Tab of the chart properties), so you can access the Statistics Collector. However, installing the components will make any future changes to the chart more difficult, so make sure it is otherwise set up as you want it.

In the collector's properties, change the On Warmup option from Remove finished rows to Remove all rows.

On the Events Tab, add a duplicate of the OnReset event and set its time to coincide with the warmup time.

These two changes will essentially complete reinitialize the chart upon warmup, keeping the order of the objects in the chart intact.

This is a good solution. I'll add this to the dev list as an improvement for the state gantt chart.
