Hi,
When I sort a BOM and then modify a part, this one is automatically moved to the bottom of the BOM and then I have to sort again.
I would like to know if there is a solution to keep the sorting settings active even when parts are modified?

To be more accurate I have to sort again if I add a part in my assembly.
Also, if I modify a parameter used to sort the BOM it is not relocated. Let's say I sorted by part number and I modify the number of a part, this one stays where it is on the BOM.
has this been addressed? it would be really nice to have a "sticky" sort so it will always sort with the method you choose.
We've been wanting to see this for a very long time. It would be nice if the BOM just always 'remembered' your sort settings.

i'll submit a ER and hope that others will as well.
Great idea! I submitted it too.
Ill add my vote!!
Perhaps I'm missing something here, and I realize the original post is older, but:
In the BOM Table Properties, there is a Tick Box for FOLLOW ASSEMBLY ORDER and DO NOT CHANGE ITEMS NUMBERS (hover over these buttons in your drawing to see a brief explaination of the functions.)
If I am off base here, pardon the intrusion.

Not at all the same thing I'm afraid unless your working on an assembly that contains only components and no sub-assemblies.

Parts Only should handle that, and admittedly, it takes some advanced planning to arrive at what you want.
I don't think the parts only helps anything...? Also sorting by assembly order doesn't help either unless you want to reorder your assembly anytime you add a new part. Should and could be a lot easier I think.
Here's an example of how we like our bom's sorted. We don't care what the assembly looks like and shouldn't have to.
TYPE is our sort column and Part No is the secondary sort.
