Is there a way to change the plot order of the sheets within Revit 2011?  I need to plot my sheets in an order that is not alpha-numeric.  How do I change the plot order like you can within AutoCAD publish?  I have been plotting to a PDF and then changing the order there but it is cumbersome.

If you have Autodesk subscription you can use Batch plot utility for Revit.

then you can adjust plot order.

Your right, batch plot can do that. However, batch plot cannot save that order so each time it has to be redone and batch plot cannot plot to a PDF. As far as I am concerned batch plot is worthless unless you know something I don't. Honestly, how hard can it be to have something that AutoCAD has had for a long time. Thanks.
