Dimitry at Gallery Systems created the CR attached, which produces an illustrated checklist that can be saved in Excel, as a PDF, or in Word; it doesn't sort (at least not for me).

Subject: Checklists and Sorting Images in Excel

Hi all - This is more an Office conundrum than TMS question but since I know we all appreciate a good checklist...

I've created a custom Crystal report in TMS that is a checklist. I have gotten the data and the ThumbBLOB (thumbnail) to export to Excel while maintaining the integrity of the grid (no extra columns, blank rows or alignment issues occur). The issue is that when sorting the Excel spreadsheet - the images don't sort with their associated rows. The data sorts great.

Everyone here seems to have a different wives tale as to how to make the images sort with the cells and none work consistently...do you all have any tricks that could inform this issue? Ideally the solution would be some formatting thing we could apply to the whole worksheet (and not have to adjust each image's properties, individually).

Thanks in advance and have a super weekend!
