I have begun working with design options to show a few different facade variations on the same sheet, and I typically do this by duplicating a design option that I am using as a "base" design and then editing that new option. What frustrates me is that there doesn't seem to be any way to re-arrange the order of the options in the list...they just appear in the chronological order in which they were created. For example, if I have options A.1 then A.2 then A.3 and then I decide Iwant to make A.1.1, it shows up after A.3 and there is no way to put it between A.1 and A.2. This isn't ideal for selecting them in the drop down list since everything is out of order. This might seem nitpicky, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. Thanks.

No - There doesn't seem to be any sorting abilities.

Maybe you need to plan ahead better or just number the same as you create them.  1,2,3,4 - Then they will be easier to find.

Seriously, you tell the guy he needs to plan ahead better....hahaha apparently some of us are perfect and do this everyday all day or maybe some people are stumbling along b/c there work would like to incorporate revit but its still not as easy to use as autodesk thinks.

This issue may have changed since first discussed and there may be add ins that can modify this.  I see by this post that it may not yet have been added as a feature.
