Hi There,
In P3 Help File:
Define Activity Codes and Values
Article #5) to specify the order for codes in layouts or reports, enter a number from 1 to 254 in the order column. If this field is blank, P3 sorts the values in alphanumeric order, considering blanks first, then numbers and letters.
This is very useful I think.
But could you tell me, how can we sort the codes in layouts in Microsoft Project (version 2003) like P3? (as explained above)
Regards

Oldest first- 0Benjamin Mora ·MS Project will not do exactly what you are refering to, but and I am not sure if this helps, but all you have to do is [Insert] ([Right Click] the column header & [Left Click] "Insert Column", then select the applicable column) the desired column in the schedule, then [Right Click] on the column\activity code column that you want to create a picklist for. Select [Customize Field] and then [Left Click], under "Custom Attributes", [Value List]. [Key In] the values. You can manipulate the order by [Selecting] the value with your cursor and the [Left Clicking] the [Up Arrow] button or the [Down Arrow] button to change the order of a particular value; this can be found on the right-hand side of the dialogue box. Once that is complete you [Toggle] the "Radio Buttons" under "Display Order for Dropdown List" to sort by "Row number", "Ascending", or "Descending". [Left Click] "OK" when you have the desired results.
