hi @tpreisler

If I understand correct an easy way is to assign to that laber a visibility parameter.

The way that our company does it is by using a dash in front of the sheets we want on top. Eg: -C-1. Then on the sheet, the parameter for sheet number is entered manually as a text box, and the title block does not have the sheet number parameter on it.

Please explain

In your title block family, at the sheet number, add a parameter called visibility that is an instance parameter. Load it back into your project. In your project browser, name sheet C-1 as -C-1. On the sheet, add a text box that is the text type of your sheet numbers. Manually type in C-1 in the same location as where the sheet number is. Select your title block and check your visibility off for your sheet number

Thanks for the answer in details. but still missing some info on parameters would you be able to show a screen cast?

Thanks

@tpreisler

Add a project parameter, as a number, that applies to sheets. The name can be "Sheet Series Number". Then use a custom browser organization that uses the value of that parameter to sort the sheets. The sorting would be first by "Sheet Series Number", then by "Sheet Number". 

For example, for your cover sheet, general notes, and all general sheets that number can be 0.0. Then for civil sheets you can use 1.0, then for the next series you can use 2.0, and so on...

@Alfredo_Medina has the right answer.  it's more complicated, but its the correct way to do it.

Create a Project Parameter - Ex Sheet Parameter, Choose text.then you will have to assign Each Sheet their Parameter..I just placed "1"for Sheet C-101, and "2"for all SheetsA-101, A-102 etc... and make sure in BrowserRight Click Sheets, and Create a Sheet Parameter , and in edit sort using "Sheet Parameter"Make sure you select that "Sheet Parameter"
