We have room schedules that we commonly want to sequence by level elevation which is a schedulable property for the levels. Unfortunately host level properties aren't exposed within spatial element schedules. Many naming conventions for levels mean that when we have rooms in multiple files like a master plan Revit won't sequence correctly in schedules meaning people need to undertake manual workarounds by adding a sort sequence parameter for spatial elements. We along with many other practices use B for Basements e.g. B1, B2 etc, M for Mezzanine e.g. M1, M2, R for Roof e.g. R1, R2. Therefore levels would sequence like this 00,01,02,B1,B2,M1,R1. Current workaround require a numerical sequence adding to the rooms so that they can scheduled correctly, however this requires constant management as new rooms are added regularly to our designs and models. I would like to propose that the linked level properties are exposed within the spatial schedules so that we can add the Level Elevation or a custom Level sequence parameter to a the schedule to enable sorting, or that the levels sort by elevation correctly when links are included like that do in the parent model.
