Maybe this was brought up before. Using the MOVE, for example, Have V1 for source and V2 in Destination. Both are labeled in the Documentation.  The label appears since V1 has been documented. but if there is the integer 1 for source, no label appears. Is there a possibility if an integer is used for source the box will choose Destination for the Label? Being blank is confusing as to what the box is doing.

Also, doing Ctrl-D and bringing up the editor my stages do not show in order. I will get S0, S1, S10, S2, S3, etc. I tired putting a zero in front of the single digits, but it will no allow that.

If I sort by Data Block, last choice, it sorts correctly.

Also, for item one, why can't there be a label for Source and Destination. Would make it clearer what the Move Block is doing.

For now, only the first parameter shows all the documentation fields.

However, you can get the Nickname (what you call Label) for all of the other fields by doing what we affectionately call Bob Mode.  Right click on the Ladder View, and select Options...  In the Documentation options, UNcheck the Element, but CHECK the Nickname.  This will PREFER the nickname over the element name when a nickname exists (if a nickname does NOT exist, it will show the element instead).
