I ran into an issue at work that took me a while to solve. Here is my solution.

I created some custom Blocks in AutoCAD with several Attribute fields. I decided to reorder them but found the process unintuitive and even web searching didn’t help much. After I figured out how to do it I slept and forgot again. In order to remember I am writing it down and sharing it with you.

I am using Autodesk AutoCAD 2018 but I expect most versions will have a similar solution.

• Open the block you wish to revise
• From the Insert tab Select Block Editor, double-click on
• Type command BATTORDER
• Make changes as desired
• Select Close Block Editor, confirm Save the changes to <Current Drawing>
• Save file.

If you know of a simpler way I would love to hear about it.
