Sort Order Not Sticking in MS Project Pro 2003 Resource View

[JDG]

Our organization is currently using MS Project Pro 2003 SP3 with MS
Project Server.

Has anyone noticed this behavior, either in the Resource Sheet View
or Resource Usage View the sort order is not sticking when you choose
"Permanently Renumber"? for a schedule saved on MS Project Server. For
MS Project schedules saved locally the sort order is sticking when
"Permanently Renumber".. is chosen. Is this a bug in MS Pro 2003 SP3
or is there an Option setting that can be changed?
We also have 2007 running on a test server and this behavior doesn't
happen.

Thanks

I remember this being a definite "feature" of project server 2003. It would
not remember the "permanent renumber" on a server schedule. It would
always revert back to the order in which the enterprise resources were added
to the schedule.

I do not believe there is any fix for this in 2003.

Hi Jim,

As Jonathan mentioned, I also seen the same isssue and I do not
remember any fix. The work around I know is deploy the VBA code to
enterprise global to run on project open. The VBA code looks similar
as follows:

Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
ViewApply Name:="Resource &Sheet"
Sort Key1:="Name", Renumber:=True
ViewApply Name:="Enterprise Gantt Chart"
End Sub


Thanks
