What is the method that Revit used to sort a sheet list?

[Shai.Nguyen]

Hi all,

I have a question. I tried to access all sheets in document and sort it by sheet number following the order of Revit.

Here is the result compare with my sheets list and Revit sheets list:

My code is:

List<ViewSheet> sheetList = new FilteredElementCollector(doc)
                .OfClass(typeof(ViewSheet))
                .Cast<ViewSheet>()
                .OrderBy(x=>x.SheetNumber)
                .ToList();

Can anyone teach me how to sort exactly like Revit?

Thank you in advanced!

This iis more complex that you might think, since a user can sort the project browser any way he wants. So, if you want to duplicate it, you have to figure out what kind of filtering the user uses.
