Change the default FMEA behaviour
Change the sort order of an FMEA generated from a source structure
By default, an FMEA generated from a source structure is sorted by sequence number. This is because the FMEA_Source_Structure_Sort_Property preference is set to seq_no by default.
You can change the sort order by modifying this preference to use other properties.
