How do I order the schedule?

[LeeJaeYoung]

After the WD, the PWD should come, but this is because the ELEMENT ID is at the top and takes precedence.

Kind comes first, like FSD WD PWD (PWD WD), and ELEMENT ID comes second.

In your schedule settings, you can alter the sorting order.

The list of fields is what you want to see in the schedule in the order you want to see the information.

Next to each field, you can arrange the sorting order - ascending, descending or none.

Set them all as none and then set just the ones that you want to sort by.

They will sort by the first field that has a sorting option - for example 'Element ID'.

Then all those with the same ID will then sort by the next field that has a sorting option.

Then if that filed has the same value, they will sort by the next field that has a sorting option.

In your case you could sort just by kind (FSD WD PWD) and turn of the sorting for the other fields.

For example, turn off the sorting for Element ID.

But if the Element ID is important and you also want to sort by that as well, then you must move 'kind' so it is above Element ID in the field list.

They will sort by the order they appear in the list, if multiple fields have sorting options.

The image I show is just an example and is not a working door schedule.

Then, in order to do it in the form I want, I have to put ASD, FSD, etc. on top
Then you just have to put in the ELEMENT ID.

Even if it is below, you are saying that this is not the highest priority sorting method.

Thank you for answer.

If you only have one sorting option active (for ASD, FSD, etc field), then the order of the fields themselves is not important, as it will only sort by that one field.

However, if you want to sort by 2 or more fields, then the order they are in the list (and hence the position they will appear in the schedule) is important as priority will be given to the first field in the list that has a sorting option.

Hello!

I also have a problem regarding sorting in the Fields of Schemes. I use a field for a property that is Option set type. In that property I can manually order elements as I want, but in Fields, they get sorted alphabetically, either ascending or descending. Even if sorting is set to none, elements don't stay in the order I defined in the Option set property. Similar problem with Classifications. My question is how can I list elements in the order they are set in Archicad if that order is not alphabetical?

Thank you

The option list is just that, a list that you can create in any order you want.

When you schedule an element, you are seeing only one value from that list.

The schedule will arrange the field values (that one option value) in ascending, descending or no order, as you set it in the schedule settings.

The only way you can influence it is to add a suffix (01 - , 02 - , etc.) to the option list values.
