Re: Re: Numbered Callouts

I'm so glad I've never had to do this, because IMO there's
no good way. Either things are numbered in alphabetical order
and the numbers are scattered willy-nilly over the illustration,
or the numbers on the illustration are in a reasonable order
and the list is arranged numerically so it's impossible to
scan the list for a specific feature (e.g. where's the 
mute button???).

I've never seen an illustration where the numbers were 
arranged in some sort of logical order and the list was
sorted alphabetically. Is this some sort of huge no-no in
the parts-listing community?
