Hey SW gurus, I've had this problem for a while starting back in SW2005 on W2k Pro. When I start a NEW part and go to select the template the files are not arranged alphabetically/numerically. In fact I don't see and rhyme or reason to the order in which they are sorted. Does everyone have this issue or is it something on my end? The template files are stored on a server.
TIA Jeff
Jeff,
I know what you are talking about... The template list is in random order.
If I remember correctly, it seems like I figured out once that the templates are in the order of their last saved date. If I am correct here, and you want to control the order, simply open all of your templates and save each one of them in the order you want them to appear.
I could be wrong. But it shouldn't take but a couple minutes to verify this....

As far as I can tell, my templates are arranged alphabetically. However, it also separates them by type, so all the part templates are first, then all the assembly, then drawing.
Try using Windows Explorer, in the template folder, above the file listings is a bar called "name", click that bar and windows will sort alphabetically, up or down, your choice. actually you can click any of the bars and sort by date, size etc. I hope this is what your looking for.

Thanks...but duh
