Any solutions to this?

Hi

What happens when you use leading zeros (01, 02...)?

[JCronin67]

Then it does work...but I should not have to manually change my BOM by adding zeros in front of every single digit number.  

I feel like this is a Mandela effect....I could swear it never sorted them this way until recently.  Am I crazy?

Changing nine items takes as much time as writing a post 🙂

It's not a matter of time, but a matter of function.  That's kinda the whole point of sorting, by numbers or otherwise.  I could, in theory, quickly and manually create my own BOM....but functionally I don't have or need to.

Yes, you are right. You can report it to Idea Station.
@johnsonshiue can oversee it.

But it can be solved immediately.

Hi! I would like to clarify a few things. The sorting can be done numerically or alphabetically. Edit the ParstList and expand the dialog. Select the desirable sort type.

Regarding Inventor Ideas forum, I rarely review those items. They are being reviewed by the project teams regularly.

Many thanks!
