Sort randomly created and then copied instances in revit

Hello guys,

I am new to dynamo (and coding) and trying to do some stuff here :slight_smile: So I have created some columns in revit that are vertical and they supposed to be numbered 1,2,3,4,… In the same alignment I have also created slanted columns which are also supposed to be numbered 1,2,3,4,… Vertical columns were created in a correct sequence while slanted ones were created in a random fashion. I took this one alignment and copied it multiple times and modified the angles of the slanted columns. At this point the parameter name Mark is empty. So I went to dynamo and created a script to extract the parameter values sorting by IDs. When I change the values in excel and run a reverse script, I get the following:

  1. Vertical columns are numbered correctly (because they were created in correct order)
  2. The slanted columns are numbered wrong/randomly (column 1 becomes f.x. 22, column 22 f.x. 5 and so on)

My question is what can I do to make it work? Sort randomly created instances according to my selected sequence?
Thanks in advance.

Please share the Revit (preferably a purged copy with just the relevant columns) and Dynamo files you’ve mentioned above.

I have attached the rvt model with couple alignments of columns in the link below. The vertical ones are named correctly. The inclined ones should start as: alignment letter-incl-001;002;003;… I have also attached dynamo files I used for export from revit and import to revit. Please see the link below.

@pa.pavel.antonov From my limited understanding of your real issue or the motive, I’ve modified the file New jet grouting revit to xlsx.dyn
See if it helps.
