You can modify the hierarchy of the attributes in the Template Editor attribute tree.

Do the following:

  1. Open your copy of the contentattributes_userdefined.lst file. For example, MY_contentattributes_userdefined.lst.

    Do not modify the original contentattributes_userdefined.lst file.

  2. Scroll down to the list of attributes assigned to content types.
  3. Define the hierarchy in square brackets, between USERDEFINED. and the attribute name. For example:

    Notice the full stops after the brackets, and between the hierarchies.

  4. Save the changes. The new hierarchy is shown in the attribute tree.
