Sort From Components

Purpose

Use Sort Groups to organize the components alpha-numerically.

The sorting routine looks for the first set of numbers and organizes them as one multi-digit number. This results in an order of 1,2...9,10 instead of 1,10,2...9.

Prerequisites

Before sorting components, multiple components must exist within the project.
