Inventor moves all these to the end of my list and does not account for the #<SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN>7 variations in 1, 2, 3, numbering scheme. This becomes rather frustrating when I have 40 to 70 items and now have to drag my alpha numbers into order for every drawing.</P><P>Is there a way to reorder that does not require manual dragging into the correct order?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Bill of materials screenshot.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1574287iCAFA86CF59654AC9/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Bill of materials screenshot.jpg" alt="Bill of materials screenshot.jpg" /></span></P> Fri, 26 Sep 2025 17:41:21 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bom-item-numbering-with-the-addition-of-letters-for-items-with/m-p/13827422#M401200 jryan4GYAA 2025-09-26T17:41:21Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bom-item-numbering-with-the-addition-of-letters-for-items-with/m-p/13830336#M401287 <P>Hi!
