Advanced Usage

For added convenience, you can add this function as an item in the Outliner's Display menu by overriding the "createOutlinerPanelMenu.mel" script and adding the following lines after the 'showSelectedItem' menuItem.

global proc createOutlinerPanelMenu( string $panel )
{
  // ...

  menuItem  -l "Selected"
    -c ("outlinerEditor -e -sc 1  "+$ed)
    showSelectedItem;
  
  // Add 'reorderOutliner' to Display menu
  if ( `exists reorderOutliner` )
    menuItem -l "Reorder Outliner"
      -c "reorderOutliner()"
      reorderOutliner;

  // ...
}
