Assuming my previous statement is correct, the new NR >option, when activated would cycle like this: >1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2. 4-2, (etc), 5-1, 6-1, 7-1, 8-1, 5-2, 6-2, >7-2, 8-2, (etc.). I probably don't really understand what you are doing here, but on the surface it seems to me you are asking that the settings be grouped by number instead of a text description. > >The NB could have the same feature.
