[Chimera-users] saving attribute to file

[Scott Classen]

Hello,
FWIW It appears to be random when exporting only the selected atoms/residues. However, If I export the entire model then everything is ordered.
Thanks,
Scott

It is quite possible that you have no control over it.  Your suggestion to have a sensible order is reasonable.
