The problem I see with the group name thing is that you better know what name goes on what shirt as to size and color, ie, Joe, is small and red, John is XL and green, but you have another John and his is black, Janie is youth XS and is pink, etc, etc....If you have all these lined up to where you don't have to keep double and tripple checking as the next name comes up then go for it. I prefer to just create the name list in a DS folder and load the names to AOS to the Design Que. In AOS select Design Que, select the name you want, load it, and sew it on the correct garment. There is a lot less chance for an error to happen this way. If all the garments were the same color,and the same size then group names may be a time saver. You could try to sort them in this manner, but I prefer to use the Design Que. Select a name (John) from AOS Design Que, look at my order list, John is XL green, hoop this shirt and sew it. Of course you can sort your garments by size, or anyway you choose an order to sew them in...I have found this to be just as fast a way to get-er-done as error free as possible. Group Names is just another tool to apply in specific cases that makes it convienent to use it. This is probably why you haven't gotten an immediate response, too many varibles to hash over....
