Basic Table Tool - How to change record order from Alphabetical to specified order

Carluccio555

I have set up my workflow to meticulously order every line of data ready to be reported in a table. 

 

I now want to report this data in a specific non-alphabetical product order using a basic table, creating a record for each product using 'group by'.

 

The table outputs a record for each product but the order is alphabetical by product. How can I get the order I want?

 

Thanks

Hi @Carluccio555 

 

If you always have the same products, right before the table tool you could join your dataset with a text input that contain the expected order of types, and after the join, order by the RecordID

 

ProductRecordID
Product A1
Product B2
Product C3
Product D4
Product E5
Product F6
