Does anyone know of a slick way to force a sheet number like A274.1C to follow A274C in the sheet index?

Sub order parameter
Sort by Discipline, Discipline Order, Sub order, sheet number
Have to use it because Civil has funky numbering that just doesn't make sense...
Oh...and don't put in a number in the suborder unless you absolutely have to. Once you do it to one sheet, you have to do it to all of them in that particular order.Last edited by MPwuzhere; October 3, 2017, 07:14 PM.Michael "MP" Patrick (Deceased - R.I.P) -
Very nice, however, our index also sorts by Volume so I don't have available fields for Sub Order. I am stumped, unless I simply separate the Index on the sheet and slip in an index that only includes the odd numbered sheet.Originally posted by MPwuzhere View Post
Just finished the index using your suggestion of a suborder. Created a new index that filtered and sorted by suborder and slipped it in line with the major index. Looks good and not much effort. Thanks for the heads up!Bettisworth NorthComment

You may want to use a single parameter to combine your sorting, so each sheet gets a single "combo" value to sort by. Something along the lines of <discipline order><sub order> in one parameter. You would have to coordinate this manually (use schedules and calculated values to help assemble the value from other parameters), or use Dynamo to do the legwork. I think you could eliminate sorting by Sheet Number at that point, as the combo value could handle that in the <sub order>. This would allow you to sort by (and get title labels for) Volume, Discipline, and one other value in addition to your "combo" parameter.Chris EllersickComment

I use 1.) Disc # - 2.) Disc (as Header) - 3.) Publish Order (by series set, if needed) - 4.) Sheet #.
My Disc # is formatted with "(No._Disc Name); ex, 00.0_Arch, 06.0_Arch, etc... where the 00.# could help me squeeze in Interiors or Demo or others wherever the PM deems them necessary.
This helps me for the most part use only 3 parameters & not need "Publish Order", but for special circumstances (rare).Comment

Now that is creative!Originally posted by cftrevizo View Post
Just got to thinking that I can simply use publish order to do the same thing...sweet!Bettisworth NorthComment
