Tech/Engineering - Architecture
German term or phrase: Ordnung der Ansicht
Der neue Filter CAD-Layer liefert eine aus der CAD bekannte Ordnung der Ansicht.

I'm struggling to put "Ordnung der Ansicht" into English in a way that sounds natural here. Can anyone help?

TIA.

English translation:organizes views
Explanation:
The new CAD layer filter organizes views as known from CAD (tools/applications/systems etc.)

Compare with this:
"We are a small, mostly residential firm running Autocad 2011. While we don't utilize the 3d capabilities of Autocad, we do use the Project Navigator hierarchy to organize our constructs (all line work), views (annotated drawings) and sheets." https://archinect.com/forum/thread/103969/organization-of-ca...

Thanks to everyone! All good answers but this one seems to me to be the most natural way of expressing what is meant in English.

draw order


Explanation:
I would suggest "draw order", but perhaps "view order" or "display order" works too.

[layer object] view order


Explanation:
This term relates to an app rather than the main CAD software, hence the incorrect assumption of "draw order".

LORDER – Layer Object View Order
"The LORDER or L(ayer)ORDER app from CAD Design Software, is a highly useful utility to change layer order with just a few clicks."
