    <title>idea When Filtering Family Types by Parameter, Sort Numerical Parameters Numerically, Not Alphabetically en Revit Ideas</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;When importing a family (for instance, a structural column) with multiple types, the "Specify Types" dialogue box appears. This allows you to import specific types from a family, rather than an entire family. These types are organized in a table with their identifying parameters. Selecting the drop-down menu associated with a given parameter allows you to filter the family types according to set values of that parameter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The issue: the order of this list appears to be bugged - the parameters are sorted alphabetically, not numerically. As the attached example illustrates, sorting a W-Wide Flange Steel Column by the dimension parameter "d" makes the values increase in the following order:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 10 1/2"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 10 13/128"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 10 205/256"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 10"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 11 125/128"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 11 13/128"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 4 41/256"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 5 115/128"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0' 5 19/128"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You get the idea. It would be much more useful if these values were sorted numerically. This is a very minor issue, but can be a bit tiring to deal with regularly.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
