Instrument Schedule Sorting Question


Recommended Posts

Looked for an answer to this question on the forum but can't find one, so I'll ask.

When I use the Generate Paperwork function in Spotlight to create an Instrument Schedule the instruments are sorted by position but not by number. The unit numbers are seemingly random - my best guess is that they're in the order of creation or something.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

There is no way to control the sort order in the Generate Paperwork command, the order is built into the command. There was a bug in 2012 or 2013 that prevented them form sorting correctly but that has been corrected.

Also database worksheets may not sort correctly in 2010 but that was fixed in a later version. In 2010 I think database worksheets sorted numbers in a text formatted cells as text. The worksheet would sort as 1,10,11,2,20,21...
