Can RISA3D provide member force results (i.e. internal moments, axial, torsion, shear) sorted by Section Set or Member Shape?
It appears that the default for member force results does not report member shape or section section in the same spreadsheet; this requires you to constantly cross-check with other spreadsheets (i.e Member M143 has no significance without other tables or graphic plots).
The Design Results / Unity Check results shows member sizes, but member forces are not shown here, just capacities and unity checks.

The member results displays the results in the same order in which they appear in the members spreadsheet. Therefore, if you sort your members spreadsheet based on the section set or shape data, then you will get basically what you are asking for.

In the next version of the program you will be able to re-label members based on selection states. Therefore, you could give a different prefix to all members that have a certain section set call-out.
