Is it not possible to sort with nominal W x H size?

As I have noted, sorting by Nominal W x H size is only possible if you have set the dimensions in meters in Project Preferences.

Version/build of Archicad and OS version, please, in any post asking questions.  Just put it in your signature (click your icon on the very top right of the page > My Settings) and it will appear automatically in every post.   Should we assume 26?

I just checked in 26, as this worked in prior versions, and clicking in the sort column for "Nominal W x H Size" sorts properly, whether ascending or descending.  Your screenshots show descending yet your schedule is ascending.  Just in case this is related to grouping based on fields earlier/higher in the field list ... drag the Nominal W x H size parameter to the top of the list and check the results and post your result.

How did you know I didn't know this? ^^

26 seems to have a lot of bugs, is it ok?

When I change the Length, it becomes Sort.
It was a really surprising fact that millimeter couldn't recognize because of ",".
thank you ^^

Can't you remove the zeros from the integer part?

It's in millimeters in our drawings, but it's absurd to suddenly see metric units in the window list. ^^
Is there any other way?

The fact is that when ordering the elements in the schedules, the Archicad takes into account first the first number, then the second, etc. Therefore, if you remove zero, then the size 900 will move to the end of the schedule, as you may have already noticed.

I rarely across with this, usually I sort by ID. Sometimes with small houses, for example, if I need to have an entrance door at the beginning of the schedule and a garage door at the end, I add the property I created and manually determine the order of the elements by myself, but again I enter 01, 02, etc because as I mention Archicad takes into account first the first number, then the second.

Most architectures also sort by ID.
But in the past few years, only the apartment has suddenly changed like this.
I also chose the method of sorting by ID at the bottom and making the ID invisible in Layout.
thank you
