I have define a code structure to have a different and flexible organization of my schedule.I have created custom field on the activities and assigned them to the activities.

Those custom field was 4 digit characters.

When I select custom grouping, the default sorting is by alphabetical order of the custom field. I want to define a different order.

For example I defined engineering=ENG; construction=CON the result is that contruction in visualized before than engineering.
Could you tell me how to chage the alphabetical order and define a the different order i like???

Thanks

    Hi Alvaro,

    You are quite right, in that you can sort only on alphabetical or numerical order. To sort them in the order that you wish, you could add a number at the start of your code. Ex.

    1. Project Management
    2. Design.
    3. Manufacture
    4. Installation
    5. Commissioning.

    If you didn’t add the numerical code, it would list them in the following order:

    Commissioning
    Design
    Installation
    Manufacture
    Project Management.

    HTH.
