Our setup looks like this:

Your go to Misc>>operations>>edits sort parameters there you can set all 3 tabs to your preferences and save the file to user or group folder to link to machine template.

But it wont sort and do the drilling first. Maybe TS can't find the the sort_nesting.par file..

check your process for drilling allows it to be sorted also make sure when making changes to your sorting you have to close and reopen TopSolid for them to take effect.
