In the schedule scheme settings you can adjust the order for each field.

Thanks Barry.
I have adjusted the ascending/descending but it doesn't seem to list my composite names in order.

I have the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

I have just had a deeper look at it in version 25.
And the display order has no effect on the 'Composite Structure' at all that makes any sense to me.
I thought is was the numbers in the prefix that was throwing it off, but even without numbers at the beginning of the names, the order just seems to be random.
Might be a good idea to report this to your local Archicad support.

Hi Yvonne,
The composite structure within a schedule uses the attribute number to define the list order and not the actual text included within the composite name. The screenshot below of my schedule has the Composite Structure set to descending, which can be seen to be working when shown alongside to the screenshot of the Attributes Manager.
I haven't worked out why this is the case but it explains why the ascending/descending option does little to help with alphabetical text organisation. Unfortunately I'm also unaware of any sort of workaround.

Does anyone have any updates on workarounds for this issue?

Here is the way to achieve this:
Create an Expression-defined Property, which will be available for all Classifications. Its Data Type should be "String", and its value should be the "Composite Structure" parameter within the General Parameters group.
{Property:General Parameters/Composite Structure}
Then schedule this Property, which you will be able to sort according to the alphabet.
