I'm working on processing an energyplus idf file to implement some systems. It's convenient for me to work with NotePad++ text editor rather than idf editor. I know that order of the inputs is not important for energyplus simulation and I need my idf text in my preferred arrangement to have better access. But sometimes, after running the idf file, energyplus changes the arrangement of the idf file.
For example, I want (and I write) EMS objects at the end of the idf file. But after running the idf, it goes in the middle of input file! Is there anything to do about it?
