Sort order from REQ to Purchase Order

Question

Good morning, 
 Can anyone tell me if there is a way to prevent X3 from sorting items by product code when converting a REQ to Purchase Order? Below is an example. 
 This is how I enter the product codes and how I would expect them to show up on the purchase order 
 1234 
 A123 
 3456 
 2345 
 The system is sorting them alpha/numerically 
 A123 
 1234 
 2345 
 3456 
 I was advised, in the REQ, to select any head (which sorts it accordingly) and then cancel the sort. This does not carry through. If the system has to sort by something, then it should be line item number.

You will notice the same behavior when converting a purchase request into a PO where the PO lines are not in the order of the PR lines. 
 For this purpose, the solution was to use an entry point. 
 You can find more information under online help, Technical help, Entry points... 
 - Purchase order creation uses two working screens: PMG then POI1 
 1) use ECLBESOINS from TRTACHPOH1 and set WSRTFLG to 1 
 2) then SRTPURORD from TRTACHCDE1 and set WSRTFLG to 1 
 - Variable WSRTFLG allows you to handle the purchase order lines sort. 
 - Disable the purchase order lines standard ordering and use a specific one. 
 I am not sure if the above entry point will work for RFQs, if not check the entry point PPDFILTRE located in the TRTACHSEL1 processing. 
 You need a certified developer to create the custom codes for this purpose.
