如何使用 emacs verilog-mode 获得声明订单 AUTOINST？

Question

When using vim autoinstantiation, I get an AUTOINST in declaration order as shown. But, I need to use emacs AUTO_TEMPLATE for multiple instantiations, so I am trying to use "emacs --batch file.v -f verilog-batch-auto". Unfortunately, this is giving a sorted order. How can I get this declaration order AUTOINST using emacs verilog-mode?

According to the documentation at http://doc.endlessparentheses.com/Fun/verilog-auto-inst.html it seems I need to use verilog-auto-arg-sort:nil and verilog-auto-inst-sort:nil

I have tried to set them in ~/.emacs and in the bottom of the file, but there is no difference. Any ideas?

// Local Variables:
// verilog-library-flags:("-f ../src/files.vc")
// verilog-auto-arg-sort:nil
// verilog-auto-inst-sort:nil
// End:

As it turns out, this is due to an older version of verilog-mode which came preinstalled with emacs.

emacs Verilog --> Version and FAQ
You are using verilog-mode 2017-08-07-c085e50-vpo-GNU

This can be fixed by updating verilog-mode according to instructions at https://www.veripool.org/wiki/verilog-mode
