[protege-discussion] Is there a limit to organize in alphabetic order?!

[Tania Tudorache]

Hi Paula,

For optimization reasons, there is a limit in Protege for the number of 
instances of a class that are sorted in the InstancesTab (by default it 
is 1000). In order to sort the instances of a class, you need to have 
access to all instances of the class. If the number of instances is very 
big (say over 10000), then you will get a bad performance because you 
need to read all instances of a class in order to display them 
(especially if you are using the database backend). Using this 
optimization, if a class has more than 1000 instances, they will  not be 
shown in sorted order in the InstancesTab.

You can change this limit, by setting the following line in 
protege.properties file:

    ui.DirectInstancesList.sort_limit = 1100

(Instead of 1100, write the limit you want)

However, keep in mind, that the bigger you set the limit, the worse the 
performance of displaying the instances will get.
