Electrical Shedule

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi guys,

This is probably pretty basic but I am a little frustrated trying to sort a simple Domestic electrical schedule into a set order.
ie. I want to have a preset order in the schedule and would prefer not to make it just alphabetical.
EXAMPLE
All Power Points in order
GPO SINGLE
GPO DOUBLE
GPO EXTERNAL
All Lights in order
LIGHT POINT
12v DOWNLIGHT
240v DOWNLIGHT
WALL LIGHT
FLOODLIGHT
etc etc
Now I have tried sorting by various means to get my order
Even set z values so that my sort order is correct but these are not FIXED values....
I can add another variable in the GDL but cannot see how to implement by calling in the schedule scheme settings.
I also thought to add a number to each part name
eg. 1-GPO SINGLE
2-GPO DOUBLE
3-GPO EXTERNAL
But that looks messy in the schedule titles anyway
Any suggestions on sorting would be greatly appreciated

Andrew
