Get the Model's Sorted Execution Order Programmatically

Hello, I can display the Sorted Execution Order of a model as described at [1]. Is there a way to obtain the very same information programmatically from the command line in some "manipulable" form (e.g., cell array of strings in sorted order notation [2], etc.)?

get_param(gcs,'SortedOrder') is not what I want, because it enables the display of the sorted order on the diagram.

The sldebug/slist combination [3] displays the answer on the Matlab's console (basically at this point, I'd need to redirect the output to a variable to read/interpret it; any hint?).

Any other idea/approach?

hello,

Unfortunately, I am also like you, looking for a similar functionality. Thank you for raising the question :)

Best, /Nas

Can we try using:

   sortedlist = get_param(bdroot, 'SortedList');

While this will not give the s:b format as displayed in the model. It will return a vector of block handles with b - 1 as indices.

If you want to inspect the sort order of an Atomic Subsystem in your bdroot then give the handle of that subsystem instead of bdroot:

   sortedlist_of_asys = get_param(gcbh, 'SortedList');

[Jianfei]

Strange. Some of the output handles are not valid ...

[Mukund Iyer]

You can use ishandle command to remove invalid block handles.

sortedList = sortedList(ishandle(sortedList));

However, beware! 'SortedList' property is present only for SubSystems and not for any block types including Virtual Subsystems. Also make sure to run this once on the model:

set_param(bdroot,'SimulationCommand','update');
