Reply To: Ranking composites in a specific order

[Alyssa BellKeymaster]

Hi Jason,

When using a CSV, you must use the force order column in the data sheet.

If you want to use the additional text field in the CSV, you need to use a template with an additional text setup layer. If you do that, it will put the additional text layer below the name. If you want to do it above the name, it will have to be edited manually by changing the position of the text layer for each portrait.

You can trick it as you mentioned by using the NROTC information in the first name column, and then the full name into the last name. The drawback to that is the auto-resizing might make the name too condensed based on the length of the name.  If you’re using  “fullname”, it won’t condense the name as much.
