Revit 2015.

I have groups of individual drafting views that I have created that contain bits of info that can be dropped onto a sheet to create a set of general notes that can be individually referenced on a drawing or that can end up being an entire sheet of general notes that I can then reference to from plans and details anywhere in the set using view references. 

What I'd like to do is create an index of those drafting views as they sit chronologically on a particular sheet,  a view index per sheet, so to speak. 

So far, my best method has been to create a sheet index that contains a custom parameter for "view number" and then manually fill in that parameter based on where the particular drafting view and its corresponding view number land on the sheet.  Then I filter by sheet number and sort by the view number parameter and boom....individual sheet view number index.

This, of course is dangerous because sometimes views are re-arranged on the sheet and the manual attribution of view number isn't automatically updated.

Any chance this automated capabiliity exists somewhere in the bowels of the program?

I'm not sure if I am following you exactly or not but you can just create a View List Schedule, you would need to create a separate schedule for each sheet that you want the schedule on and filter by sheet number

Thanks.  That is exactly what I've done.  The problem however is that one cannot apparently sort that view schedule by the detail number on the sheet, so while a reader would know a note is SOMEWHERE on the sheet, they'd still have to hunt for it unless you do as I have, and manually add the detail number reference to the schedule. 

It's automating THAT part of it that I'm interested in.

There is no way to have this automated.  Some people have created Macros that will do what you want, I know nothing about how to do that but here is a post that may help you.
