Pattern order

 

Nesting parameter to set the type of sort for patterns

 

Nested patterns can be sorted by several different criteria. Use this parameter to set the type of sort required.

 

- Patterns are always grouped by Material (this cannot be changed)

 

Within the material grouping patterns can be sorted by up to 3 rules. For example, 'largest run quantity first'; 'run quantity and then board length...'
