Does anyone have some advise on having a workflow trigger an action in the order specified by a saved search criteria? I have a workflow that uses a saved search to generate a list of the sales orders to automatically print the pick tickets (this is a Summit IT / RF-Smart product) but when it sends the print job to the printer it prints the sales orders out of order.

Unfortunately you can’t control what order NetSuite will process the records in

I was afraid that was going to be the case, at least with using the workflow. I bet it can be done using a suitescript.
During my testing, I did notice that NetSuite's workflow was submitting the print requests in the same order every time. (I just paused the print queue so I could easily check)

So it’s a consistent order but just not the order you want?

correct, I ended up getting it to print in order by writing a suitescript and using a saved search for the criteria.
