Resource Pool - MS Project 2003

[Bob Kulin]

I have set up a resource pool for use by PM's. It is sorted and saved by the
name of the resoure, however, when a PM selects a name from the resource pool
the resource is listed by when the resource was added to the pool rather than
by the sorted name.

The issue is that when a PM assigns a name to a task it is difficult to
locate the name form the resource list.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

thank you

I am not sure if you are using the server version of the client standalone
with a shared resource pool. Also, when you refer to the PM selecting from
the resource list, can you give exact steps, are you referring to a split
screen after you built the team or are you referring to the build team, or
some other location?

I think there are some workarounds to your issue depending on your answers
to the questions above. Let me know and I will see what options you might
have.

Hi Bob,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

How did you sort the Resources? Go to the Resource Sheet view. Then
Project/Sort/Sort by... select Name, and at the bottom, Permanently renumber
resources, then Sort.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on
