isPointOf results in alphabetic order of parents group

Hello
An item ( like battery load etc) is placed in the Modell due to the parameter „isPointOf“. This parameter is a result of the parameter „direct parents group“.
That works fine as long as there is just one parents group.
If there are more then one parents groups in that item (like Sensor name and gGroup), the parameter „isPointOf“ depends on the alphabetic position of the first letters. That means, if the sensor name begins with a letter „higher“ than „g“ (from gGroup) the Modell shows the item under sensor name , otherwice under the group name.
Is there any chance to set „isPointOf“ manually? or any other way to get a proper Modell order

Your item can only belong to one semantic group, but can be part of multiple non semantic groups.
Check your groups and normally this should fix this

Will it create any trouble within the project, if the item belongs to more than one semantic group? I just took a group name starting with „a“ like „aGroup“ and it works. It leaves the item where it was before.
But I will try nonsemantic groups.

It’s by design of the semantic model, that only one group is supported, as e.g. physically one device can only belong to one room.

There were several discussions in the past around this. E.g.

Multiple group membership

You can easily use the UI to add the item to a group in two ways: From the item’s page click on edit in the upper right-hand corner then click on the Parent Groups box and select all the groups you want that item to be a member of. From the group’s page click on the Change link at the bottom of the Direct Group Members box and select all the items you want to add to that group. An item can be a member of as many groups as you need. Note, however, that if you try to add an item to more than o…

That‘s all ok. I just wanted to see the group result in the modell, without scrolling through the 800 items. But with non-semantic group it works as well or even better.
