How to sort IvPartsList?

We are using an IvPartList BOM on our drawings.  It seems to work OK except that we can't find a way to sort the BOM based on anything other than the default Item Number (we actually need to use Stock Number for sorting first).  

 

The sort criteria can be set interactively in Inventor (right click on the parts list - select the sort icon to open the sort dialog - select the columns to use for sorting).   However, we don't see a way to set it programmatically or through the Styles-Editor  Part-List dialog.  

 

Is there a way to set it programmatically or through the styles editor?

 

Any help is appreciated!

The Inventor API has a PartsList.Sort that lets you sort on multiple columns.  However, this is not implemented in Intent's iv_PartsList wrapper yet.

 

We have added a request for this into our project tracking system.

Is there a fix for this now in Inventor ETO 2013. I am working with the IvPartsList and can't get it to sort by Part Number. 

 

Thanks!
