numbering order in schedule

Anonymous — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 04:37:50 GMT

this has probably been dealt in another thread but haven't found it...

i've created a schedule to list storage unit names, floor levels and ceiling heights; in this case, the units are numbered 1 to 49 and i've set the zone names as such.

when open schedule, the unit names are listed as such: 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,21,22,23......
.......38,39,4,41,42......49,5,6,7,8,9.

very frustrating; i can't seem to figure out how to get the names to list sequentially.

any advise would be welcome.

thanks in advance,

rob

Technically they have listed sequentially.
Is it possible to number your units 01, 02, 03, ....., 09, 10, 11, 12, ....etc.

Hi,

This faulty numbering order is a strange issue if you think that some guys went to the moon 40 years ago? With calculation like this they would still be 'on the way' .

We usually put a dummy ordering parameter first - the height to project origin - so the floors are ordered despite their name. The printable width of this field is set to zero.

The Finder handles it correctly.

Graphisoft calls the zone text field #2 as 'Zone number' so suppose it should behave like one? It can't handle the natural sort order even in the split mode. Bug, not a feature (IMHO).
