Maybe I am alone - but we are not super disciplined about naming Viewports. Even when we do - when you list the 100s of viewports in a list aphetically - it is still incredibly hard to find what you are looking for.
I love the new tags and how VW is becoming better about what I call "dumb-smart coordination." It really is great - but we need a better way for us to link viewports to tags.
The list should be organized by the SheetNumber that the viewport is currently on, followed by the Drawing Number currently assigned, followed by the name. Also - the name of the viewport should be able to be set as the Drawing Title - so when you change the title. Viewports seem to be currently named by the number and sheet where they are first created - so after things have moved around a bit - it becomes impossible to find it from the list. So much back and forth to see the name of the viewport, back to the detail tag, ect.
