Problem Description

While following the wiki article how-to-combine-the-bom-in-isometric-with-certain-sequence for combining & setting the sequence in BOM report, it has been observed that, when settings is done in Rep-sortgroups.txt file, the supports field does not respect the definitions in the file.

Definition in file


Note that, supports is placed at last. i.e number 6. But, actual results in BOM is as shown

Notice that, though in definition the support is at number 6, in actual BOM its at 3rd place.
