Iterating over multidimension array

Question

Hi,
I'm iterating over multidimentional array using ForEach statement. Let say the array is a 4D array and looks like:
AnArray[0..4][0..3][0..2][0..1]
I want o execute somenthing for every element of this array. To do this I'm using - as I've mentioned - ForEach loop. The point is that the order of the element iterating over is different from the order I expected.
The iteration process starts from iterating first element of first dimention (defined on most lest side - in my example [0..4]). My expectation was that the iteration starts by changing elemnts in dimension defined on most right side - in the example above dimension [0..1].
Is there any chance to change the iteration order?
Thanks.

I do not think there is a way to change the order with foreach, however you can always use your own nested loops and loop iteration variables to iterate in any order you like. For example:
for (int i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
    for(int j = 0; j <= 3; j++)
        for(int k = 0; k <= 2; k++)
            for(int l = 0; l <= 2; l++)
                AnArray[i][j][k][l]
Another alternative is to change the order of the indices you are using for your array to be the way that will make foreach work out the way you want it to.
Or you might consider posting to the Idea Exchange to propose adding a setting to foreach for this (or something similar): http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand-Idea-Exchange/idb-p/teststandideas
