    I heard this asked in your Webinar today Troy. One of my team asked me this a while back too.

    The only way I think this would work is to add a Custom Tag and then a Custom Template in your Sets preferences .
    We didn’t get around to testing this, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Sets should automatically sort by discipline when it reads the sheet number and sees the letter in front of the number. The question was asked if it could be organized by building, I assume a large development with multiple buildings. Using a tag for the building number would be an interesting test. I’ll have to play with that. Maybe someone already has and can share…..

    probably the same technique though.

    Placing a Custom Tag and then a Custom sorting Template.

    I made one for one of our customers that broke down the drawings by their nomenclature

    and of course I can’t find it now…lol.

    I use the Headers and Footers feature to add a Tag already, so that is one way to do it en masse

      So you’re using the Header/Footer to add text to the sheet, then using that as a tag to sort by. That’s a pretty cool way of doing it.
