## How to Configure Item Sorting Order in Sale Bill Printing?

In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how to **customize item sorting and printing** in both **Multiple Printing Configuration** and the **Designer Printing Format** in Logic ERP.

***

### Item Sorting in Multiple Printing Configuration

* Navigate to the Menu/Configuration and then select **Sale Multiple Printing Configuration**.
* Select the **required series**.
* Under **Print Options**, locate the setting **Item Sorting in Printing**.
  * By default, it is set to **Serial Number**, meaning items will appear in the order they were entered in the bill.

* Open the dropdown to view available sorting options.
  * Example: Select **Item Name** to sort items in ascending order by name.
* Save the changes.
* Open or modify a **Sale Bill** → click **Print** → preview the voucher.
  * You will now see that the items are sorted by **Item Name** in ascending order.

  * **Ascending / Descending** = Sorts items alphabetically or numerically.
* Choose the required order type (e.g., **Ascending**).
