bill of material sorting issue

[loworange88]

Hello, I'm currently using NX1953 and just recently I am noticing a sorting problem using partslists or bill of materials. I have my defaults set so that the Assembly navigator sorts Alphnumerically by the part name, its been this setting for years. Normally when I make a drafting view, I generate a BOM template and it would come in in the same alphanumeric order as the assembly navigator. Two days ago, I noticed a model that had the navigator set to Chronological order set, and the BOM on the drafting view was as such. However now I am trying to generate new BOMs on new assemblies with Alphanumeric sorting, and the BOM is out of order. If I sort the BOM table in the drafting mode, it will sort on screen, but if I export it to an excel doc, its still out of order as if it still is in Chronologic order. I have made sure the settings are the same in my template files, and in my working assembly files. Any advice would be appreciated.

BTW, we run on global licenses, and all of which are controlled though Germany. I feel like they change and update things randomly, and we see little settings change here and there...annoyances mostly.
