Parts list - won't sort properly

Parts list - won't sort properly

Parts list - won't sort properly

(OP)
As a company, we have families of part no's, used for certain items.  I manually change part n's in a parts list to match what we want, then sort the list based on the item no. (part no.).  This works OK, unless I have made a mistake and edit an item no. a second time.  If the parts list now requires re-sorting, it won't.  Anyone else found any such sort problems with R11 and parts lists?

RE: Parts list - won't sort properly

Assuming that you're double-clicking on the chart and modifying it there, try this instead. Right-click on the assembly (or part) view and select 'Bill of Material.' Manually make your changes from this window and the chart should sort correctly every time. (You'll also notice that the manual entries aren't highlighted blue like before.)

You're right, I was not going via Bill of Materials.  I'll try what you suggest.  Thanks.
