    Sort Parts List

    I am using this for the first time trying to create some exploded assembly views.  The demos looked pretty easy and for the most part it is.  One of the major things I am having a problem with is getting my BOM sorted properly.  The item numbers are in random order and I can't get them sorted numerically.  I am sure this can be done but where?

    Well I guess I should have searched first. In a post from 5-25-2012 that says this can't be done.  Well that pretty much kills my whole trial and writes this off as junk software if that's the case.  I am not going to rearange and renumber all of my lists manually once I pull them into Publisher.  My goal was to have the same item numbers used from Inventor to publisher to make this as interchangeable as possible.  Why doesn't it at least bring the BOM in in numerical order?  Why does it have to jumble things like it does?  This was supposed to save time over what can be done in Inventor while giving us a better looking result.  Please, does someone have a workaround for this?
