Reordering sheet index

How do I order these sheets in non-alphabetical order? I would T1.0 at the top of the list. I can't rename the sheets because they are from a non revit drawing package and I only have the pdf files. Thanks.

Easiest way is create a new parameter called Sort Order and set them as number

After you add the parameter, you simply add the number where you want to be the first page. Use sort order as your first sorting follow by sheet number. Your T number will be first on the list.

You can use pyRevit ReOrder Sheets tool.

@syman2000 I'm not sure the sort order parameter will work unless I re-number all sheets by the sort order & change the sorting/grouping. Attached is an image shot of all the sheets in the project but my goal is to reorder only the solar sheets. I've never used pyRevit, @ToanDN , do you think it will work for what I'm trying to do?
My solution so far was to prefix with the sheet numbers in sequential numbering.
Thanks.

First you would check off the itemized all item. Then set the first sorting group as first grouping list. Remove the second and third shorting value.

Then you add the value to the sheet. Once you done that, you would populate the sorting group first as sort order. Follow by Group order by schedule, view/sheet discipline and Sheet number. Afterward check on the itemize every instance.

Why would I suggest something that I think will not work?
