How do I export project points sequentially?

[Randy Hepworth]

When I close out a project, I always want to have an exported Text file of all of my project points as part of my project archive. Up until the last update for J-Field (3.0.10.413) this has been simply accomplished without a problem. But since then I cannot get the exported file to come out sequentially (alphanumerically). I have searched Settings & varied the options to no end, but no luck. I have also switched between the Release Version & the Pre-Release Version. Imported a previous project that had exported correctly. But no change. I am obviously missing a Setting somewhere. Can anyone help?

By default, points that are determined by post processing are listed first and then RTK points are listed last. The post processed points will be listed according to your settings (chronological or alphabetical) and the RTK points will then be listed according to your settings (chronological or alphabetical). There is no way to override this approach as far as I know.

@Andrey Zhiganov can probably fix this so that in text exports points are ordered as they are in the points screen.

The problem is not in how the points are viewed on the LS- whether Survey, or Design points. In the points screen the points are shown as I desire on the Export, but the actual exported text file is a somewhat random order for all the points. I have been doing this routinely since purchase of the system in 2017. Something has changed.

It's not an issued of "survey or design" it's RTK and Post Processed. This may not be your issue, but this does affect the sequence of exported points, so it was the first culprit that came to mind. Look at the order of your points. Are the first points in the exported list using a Post Processed solution?

No. Actually, the RTK & PP points are dead last, ie, the highest point numbers, in all of the projects. In fact all of the low point numbers below #500 have been imported into the project before going to the field and are all imported from another Text File that are sequentially ordered. In the largest project a series of previous points in State Plane Coord. were imported first, I then imported another series of points in a Local Grid in a different Page which I then went through the Localization procedure which I have done quite a number of times, and then I have the Surveyed Points which have the highest point number. When I change the LS settings to Chronological, the points appear on the LS sequentially in the segment order imported into the project AND the LS will export them in that order.

OK, I don't know what I have done to the settings. But the Export finally comes out right. No idea what magical change I did since I made so many changes to the settings. Thanks for looking at it.
