Why is that when I process point to surface report shows numerical order after clicking "From" column but by clicking "show report" for final printing will revert back to the original order? Please see below

Clients always complaining especially I have thousands of points to report.

I know I asked this before but the request of our clients and our own engineer is to be able for them to see separate groups of "out of tolerance" delta elevation or different color that I can set using criteria before running the report so they can spot it easily by comparing my report and plan view of the as-built/certification maps using the point numbers.

As a licensed surveyor, I certify our grading work by proving them a letter of certification and maps or provide as-built maps, so to protect myself I send them both the report and maps so they can compare using the point numbers.

Thanks

We just resolved the numerical number by exporting it to csv then delete original and import the csv back in and run the report.

Good Point though Eric - I will log it in as a Defect - I think that the way this works is that it is listing the points not by Point Number but in the order that they got created - if you Save the Project and Exit the Project and then reopen it then the newly created points appear at the bottom of the list but in the order that you created them (this is our Internal Record Number Order vs Point Number Order (Point Number is really just an Attribute of the Point).

Having said that I would 100% agree with you that if you sort the Table in the Command by Point Number or by Delta Elevation (Low to High or High to Low) that your Report Output Should reflect that order - ideally it would let you either Copy and Paste to Excel or Report to Excel as well as HTML so that you can do what you want with the data

I will log the issue with QA and see what we can do to fix this
