Dynamo Matching Index / Parameter Numbers

I noticed Index numbers change for the same Family Type Property.

Ex. URL is found on Index 20, 22, and 24 depending on the family.

Is there a way to make force the index numbers to match per the same parameter name?
(see attached)

I don’t believe you can reorder but what you can do is to use List.contains with a boolmask.
something like this.

good luck

Element.Parameters returns its information as a Dictionary, not a list, so the order of parameters (and therefore the index number) will never be consistent, even for the same category.

(I found that out the hard way- see the linked thread for way more details.)

Why don’t you use Element.GetParametrByName instead? That node doesn’t rely on the index.

That. If you need them all and don’t want to type out the list use Element.Parameters, then Parameter.Name the. Element.GetParameterValueByName.
