I have made a generic annotation for our lease plans, to show what we call "depth"- potential tenants. This list can be 50+ company names, so I did 3 labels with ~18 text parameters each. The parameters are all instanced, 55 in total. see attached image FAMILY IMAGE IN FAMILY EDITOR

When the symbol is loaded into a project, the parameters are out of order. see attached image FAMILY PROPERTIES IN FILE

#1-18 will put the text in the first (left) column

#19-36 will put the text in the second (middle) column

#37-55 will put the text in the third (right) column

Is there a way to re-order the parameters, so they list out numerically? The higher ups can be particular about the order of potential tenants on the plan and it will defeat the purpose of the label (ease) if we have to take the time to hunt for the next number.

I have also attached the family file (OTHER DEPTH.rfa) for reference- maybe I built it incorrectly or something.

Any help is appreciated- thanks!

They are in order.. it just starts from the bottom with 2, 20, 21 etc.  If you want to have it read correctly you will need to have your 2 actually read 02 I believe... so it would be 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11 etc.
