We'll try to work in some better sorting in the print artwork dialog. We are in for a penny with the BOD button in the print artwork dialog now, so a couple of improvements like this are probably worth while. But if we are going to insist on doing BOD, then we really need a self-contained BOD application that is good at what it does.

> Requested on behalf of Larry Calvert at GBS. Clean up the Print Artwork Module. GBS uses the Ballot on Demand feature extensively. However, our customers are requesting some minor modifications to the sorting of the precincts. The Print Artwork Module has a "By Precinct" and a "Ballot on Demand" option. The "By Precinct" option does not include the Base Precinct Label in the precinct selection box. The "Ballot on Demand" option includes the Base Precinct Label, but sorts the precincts in alphabetical order. Precincts are not necessarily created and reported in alphabetical order so the "Ballot on Demand" option is confusing and frustrating for our customers to use. For example, Precincts are sorted in the following order: DeKalb 1,10,11,12...19, DeKalb 2,20,21,22. In the Print Artwork module we need the Base Precinct Label listed and the precincts sorted in Report Precinct order followed by the Base Precinct order. This sort can occur in the "By Precinct" option or the "Ballot on Demand" option. The two modules also use different labels to identify Card Numbers. For example, "Ballot on Demand" lists Ballot Rotations.
