Sort Nest By Material Name

Sort Nest By Material Name

When nested based processing, does anybody know of a way to force the sheets to be placed in a particular order?
Example: I'm nesting 50 sequence & end-matched custom-layup panels.  The individual panel definition is at the end of the material name (e.g. WV1_A3_19M_102D05).  I'd like to see the panels placed/run in order of that definition (material name), because that's also the way they'll be dropped at the CNC.
However, MV is nesting the sheets at seemingly random and the operator has to flip thru the printouts to find the next program in sequence.
Anyone any ideas?
