I'm using Custom sort to arrange images for a book project. How can I export this Custom order to a text or spreadsheet file?

Thanks.  My recollection is that exporting to a text file was a standard option in IMatch 3, but I can't find the equivalent in 5.

A custom sort order is a list of file ids stored inside your database. Linked to another object like a folder id or category id.
There is nothing to "export" here, it would just be a list of numbers, useless.

If you want to export file names or similar to a text file, use the Text Exporter in the Import & Export Panel. See the IMatch help system for details on the Text Exporter and all other Import & Export modules.

See also the article Exporting Metadata and Attributes with the Text Exporter in the IMatch DAM Knowledge Base.

The Text Exporter allows you to export files in the order created by any sort profile or the custom sort order.

Thanks, the text exporter sounds like exactly what I need.
