How to modify BOM order

Hi all,

Pro/E creates the BOM by automatically when you have set the repeat region, but the sequence is random that are not same with assembly order. How can we move the order which are our favorite location.
 
You can use sort region if you want to sort by description or by part number.


But you want to sort them to be exactly like in model tree order, then I don't think there is a way of doing this automatically, just manual reorder the BOM using fix index. Just click on the fix index, then click on the repeat region, and then click one by one on each part in BOM and enter their position number in BOM (click on A.prt and give it number 1, then click on C.prt give it number 2, click on Q.prt give it number 3 and so on)


But, inthis way if you later add a new component you will have to fix index again. So I would suggest you sort the BOM by part number or by description.
