Sorting Hoist Report by Dimensions

[gkunit]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to sort my hoist report by X and Y dimensions, however Vectworks doesn't seem to be recognizing the difference between the positive and negative values. All dimension cells are currently formatted as a dimension. Not sure what I'm missing, any help would be appreciated!

Just figured it out with the help of Sam Rembert on the Facebook VWX users form.

 

I was using the "Origin Y (formatted)" field instead of the "Origin Y" field.

 

Just curious, does anyone here know what that difference is?

 

Thank you,

Formatted is a Text representation of the value that includes the unit marks.  Origin Y is just a number representing the value.

 

I think.
