<p class="MsoNormal">From a user. Is this a bug or feature? Should it be written up? Note that when User talks about updates, pre-update was TOSS II, post update is TOSS III. (TOSS is the OS for our clusters).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi Alan,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I figured you might want to know what the fix to my issues is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">When loading a partitioned exodus (.e) file (ex. Simulation.e.5.0, Simulation.e.5.1, Simulation.e.5.2 etc. etc.) the array that you load via ExodusIIReader must be sorted. This was not a requirement in previous Paraview versions, hence
why my python script stopped working in newer versions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">For example, if you have a partitioned exodus file which is in an unsorted list as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">file_list = ['simulation.e.5.1', 'simulation.e.5.4', 'simulation.e.5.2', 'simulation.e.5.0', 'simulation.e.5.3']<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Then the following command will work as intended in Paraview 5.1.2 (on pre-update systems like Chama):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">exo = ExodusIIReader(FileName = file_list)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If you try the above command on 5.4.0 or 5.1.2 on a post-updated system (like Skybridge), it doesn't work (no blocks show) and you get the following error message when trying to use the ColorBy command:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Warning: In /projects/viz/paraview/src/ParaView/5.4.0-sb/ParaView5/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/Rendering/vtkSMPVRepresentationProxy.cxx, line 276 vtkSMPVRepresentationProxy (0x4d8f0f0): Could not determine array range.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If you instead use the following command:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">exo = ExodusIIReader(FileName = sorted(file_list))<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">There are no issues. Perhaps you're already aware of this quirk, but I thought I'd let you know just in case.<o:p></o:p></p>
