Straight Duct Sorting
« on: May 20, 2021, 21:22:12 PM »
Is there a way to get straight labels to sort by size? I have a report that sorts by size and I would like the labels to sort the same way. Currently there doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason as to how the labels sort, as they are coming out for 12x12 duct, then 10x12 1 piece duct, then 16x12, 18x12 and 24x12. My report sorts with the larger sizes first. How do I get the labels to do the same?

Andrew, you should share your results (Print Order), so others can benefit. We try to do that here. :):)

The sort order of the labels is controlled by the "Straight Order" in the Decoiler set-up.
I actually knew this at one time, but had forgotten since it's been a few years since I set-up the last database I built.
