Dear Sirs
I am trying to sort in Table Generator window by Location but it is impossible. Is it bug or I am doing something wrong? It is very inconvenient to select terminal strips in different rows if you have 5 or more different locations.
In Terminal Editor window sort function work correct.

There is no sort function for the Table Generator. This is unfortunate. Version 2013 also has an issue where it only adds the last drawing created by the Table Generator to to active project. There is also an issue with the Drawing Descriptions for the drawings that get created by the Table Generator. The first drawing gets =INST+LOC-TAGSTRIP correctly. But the second drawing (i.e. second strip) gets the data for the first strip as DD1 and the data for the second strip as DD2. The third drawing gets the data for the firs strip as DD1, the data for the second strip as DD2, and the data for the third strip as DD3. After that, the remaining drawings get the exact same data as the third. Of course what should happen is that the DD1 field of each drawing should get the Installation, Location, and strip ID of the terminal strip that the table on that drawing represents. And of course it would be nice to be able to sort by strip ID, Location, etc., or a custom sort by MOve Up/Move Down or even better, a drag and drop.

Thank you Doug for good explanation.
I am also found that there is problem with adding generated drawings to active project and drawing descriptions, but thought that just I am doing something wrong.
I hope in next service pack it will be fixed.
