I have a bunch of blocks here. I named them by category “Precast-Glazed-Panel” then followed by a number “1, 1.1,2,2.1,2.2,3,4,5,5.2,5.3…etc”. For some reason, rhino doesn’t recognize that 25 is a larger number than 3.1. I am trying to stay organized and I couldn’t find a way to organize this any better. Is there a way to fix this issue? Any suggestions? Refer below to my screenshot.
Yeah, pretty tough, I know - there should be a new block manager to try in the V8/WIP before too long.

You can pad your numbers to get a numerical sort. Attached is a quick GH script that requires elefront 4.3.

In your case you would split the text by - then format the number on recombine.
Something like this. The ones that have the Text in the number like ‘4 Roof’ are problematic.

I hope Rhino takes this issue seriously and improves block management once and for all in Rhino8
Japhy thanks so much for this. I will try it to solve my current issue. I appreciate you. But I wish there was a more comprehensive solution to this problem. I hope Rhino 8 makes improvements to Block Management. It’s about time.
