### Number Elements - Example 1

![](/files/6OUjQW2KxFcEH9UFlzyI)

**FM SortMark - by Frame Host & Member Mark and Element ID** – a sample rule for numbering farming members. It groups framing elements by frame host and **Framing Member Mark** (comes from **Framing Configuration → Common Settings → Elements Mark Definitions)**. Then every grouped element is sorted by **ID**.

**FM SortMark** – parameter with the result. You can find it in **Element Properties** → **Identity Data**.

**FM SortMark - by Frame Host and Member Mark** – a sample rule for numbering farming members. It groups framing elements by frame host and **Framing Member Mark** (comes from **Framing Configuration → Common Settings → Elements Mark Definitions**). Then every grouped element is sorted by its length.

**FM SortMark** – parameter with the result. You can find it in **Element Properties** → **Identity Data**.
