Mass Renumber of Zone Room Numbers

Greetings - I don't think this is possible, but it's worth the question:
Is it possible to renumber zone room numbers similarly to how element IDs can be renumbered (using the ID Manager)? Or, is there a tip/trick to pick the zones in the desired order and reassign the room numbers accordingly all at once?

Thanks, Scott

sinceV6, thanks for solving the issue. For some reason GS provides duplicate fields for Room Names and Numbers, one editable from the Zones list and one un-editable from the General list as seen in the attached image. Needless to say the schedule was created using the wrong field. Why there is a need for nearly duplicate fields is a mystery. Perhaps this along with mass renumbering will be a advancement in AC16. Thanks again! Scott

I knew it!!!
Well... it's not really a mystery. The general (uneditable) fields exist in case you need to filter/order your schedule using zone parameters: just as an example, let's say you are scheduling columns that are inside certain zones, but your schedule criteria filter does not include the zone object type, only columns. This way you could add zone name and number without needing to add the zone object type to the schedule criteria.
Glad that it worked out for you.
