When Filtering Family Types by Parameter, Sort Numerical Parameters Numerically, Not Alphabetically

When Filtering Family Types by Parameter, Sort Numerical Parameters Numerically, Not Alphabetically

When importing a family (for instance, a structural column) with multiple types, the "Specify Types" dialogue box appears. This allows you to import specific types from a family, rather than an entire family. These types are organized in a table with their identifying parameters. Selecting the drop-down menu associated with a given parameter allows you to filter the family types according to set values of that parameter.

 

The issue: the order of this list appears to be bugged - the parameters are sorted alphabetically, not numerically. As the attached example illustrates, sorting a W-Wide Flange Steel Column by the dimension parameter "d" makes the values increase in the following order:

 

0' 10 1/2"

0' 10 13/128"

0' 10 205/256"

...

0' 10"

0' 11 125/128"

0' 11 13/128"

...

0' 4 41/256"

0' 5 115/128"

0' 5 19/128"

...

 

You get the idea. It would be much more useful if these values were sorted numerically. This is a very minor issue, but can be a bit tiring to deal with regularly.
