Here was a fix for this on Autodesk Labs. The idea to sort alphabetically by manufacturer name should apply project-wide. The software is assigning first by drawing order, starting with the earliest panel layout drawing, and secondarily by manufacturer name. When the enhancement was added I noticed that when I have Siemens push buttons on the front door and other Siemens components inside the enclosure on the next drawing, along with AB, OMRON, EATON, etc., the Siemens components on the first panel layout drawing get assigned item numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., but on the next drawing AB picks up at the next available item number, and then later down the list is another group of Siemens components.
The panel shop sees everything listed by item number but the purchasing department sees all parts grouped by manufacturer. This eliminates the need for a purchase list format BOM. The objective is to be able to have a BOM that lists all parts in order of Item number but also in order of Manufacturer name. Release 2011 introduced this ability but it has not functioned correctly yet. I requested many releases ago, long before there was an Idea Station, that the Resequence Item Numbers utility resequences alphabetically according to manufacturer name.
