The report templates found in the "Bill of Materials (Quantified)" category will result in reports sorted by part number regardless of the sorting applied on the Run Reports dialog by clicking the Sorting button. This is a limitation of the interface related to the grouping applied to the data, but it does not mean that quantified bill of materials reports cannot be generated with the data sorted by fields other than part number.
A "Balloon BOM_Qty" template found in the CUSTOM category on Run Reports could be used, as these templates do not use grouping and therefore do not have the limitation on sorting with the interface. However, a disadvantage of using these templates is that Options are not available for these templates.
This document describes how to modify a "Bill of Materials (Quantified)" report template so that it sorts by the desired fields.
Refer to the animation below when following this procedure.
If different sorting is required for different clients or different types of projects, use "Save As" to save the template to different names with different sorting applied.
