The order in which the fixtures were selected is saved in the group. This order is used by
Clarity when performing effects such as fans and dynamics. The group is automatically
assigned a number. The number can be used to select the group.
21.6.1 Editing Groups
To edit a group that you have created:
 Select the group then use the fixture selection methods described above to alter the
fixture selection.
 In the Palettes window, click on the group and select Update item...
21.6.2 Sort Tab
Clicking on the Sort tab shows the currently selected fixtures and automatically opens the
“Sorting/Grouping:” pane. As the name implies, this pane allows you to perform “sorting” and
“grouping” of the selected fixtures. These selection techniques can speed up you programming
by automatically arranging and sub-selecting fixtures as described below.
Groups of, Subgroups and Buddying can be re-set to 1 by pressing Reset Grouping. If the
“Auto reset” tick box is checked, buddying and subgrouping will be automatically reset when a

The Sort pane normally only appears when the Sort tab is selected but it can be retained on all
Programmer selections and tabs by ticking the Pin box in the Sort pane.

Clicking on one of the following buttons allows you to re-order the selected fixtures to suit the
following criteria:
 By ID – by Unit ID order.
 By Name – Name in alphanumeric order.
 Selection order – by original selection order.

For ID, Name and Selection order, clicking the button a second time will reverse the sort
order.
Clicking the Random button again will re-randomize the sequence.
Clicking the Mirror button again will mirror the mirror.
 All – re-selects all fixtures.
 Odd – selects odd fixtures.
