DeLayDesign Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Hey Experts. I'm trying to rearrange a cabinet schedule so all base cabinets are together, all wall cabinets are together and all tall cabinets are together. I can't seem to find a way to tell the schedule to do this - is it possible? I know you can move items individually in the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I don't know of any other way. It would be nice if Chief provided a way to sort by individual columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 That should work if the Description column is first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 In similar scenarios, I simply use a separate schedule for each type of item. It reduces the overall length of the schedule and makes organization and plan reading a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought previously that the 1st column in the schedule controlled the Sort eg one Client likes them sorted by Room , then Number but in X14 I have been wondering if the 1st Column is now still the Controlling Column? but have been too busy to look into it more...

DBCooper Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It looks like schedules will sort automatically based on the first column (that is not the number). You can also use the label column instead of the description. The trick is that if you add/modify/remove any cabinets, it probably won't resort. I found the easiest way to solve this was to just delete it and drop in a new one. If you have customized it, you can use the set as default first. Of course being able to sort by any column by just clicking on it would also be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBCooper Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Oh yeah, cut/paste is even easier than delete/place. You can even use paste hold position. I forgot about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ever?) maybe that is what I was noticing recently? M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The number of the item is sort of like secondary information, it isn't info. from the object, but from the schedule (about the object). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True the Number is more for easy identification I guess, but several Cabinet Companies I deal with require their Delivery Contractors to deliver the Cabinets to the Room they Go in , ( so the Installer is ready to go when he arrives ) , so I have been using Floor/Room/Number etc recently, but maybe there is a better way to do it ?
