How to sort schedule items base on level elevation, not level names?

Hi,

 

I am working on a door schedule for a project that has multiple half/mezzanine levels. So, when I try to sort the doors according to levels, the levels are automatically sorted based on their names, which is contradictory to their actual elevations. For example, when I choose ascending order for level, "Lobby Floor" is listed in front of "First Floor" on the schedule but it's 2' above the "First Floor". Similarly, "Roof" is in front of "Second Floor", which is misleading. Is there a way to let the sorting of the schedule to recognize the actual elevations of the levels instead of their names?

 

Thanks!

This is due to alphabetical sorting.

 

Unless you have another Shared Parameter you can use for sorting this is why most use a 00, 01, 02... referencing approach.

 

You can edit the Level to have a numerical Reference but choose to show it in the View with it removed as an alternative.
