Hi

In simple terms I am trying to sort the below example by machine/previous operation finish date/recommended operation start day to give me an optimum start finish date for each work order/operation except on a much bigger scale. When I sort I get circular references because dates are dependant. I have tried using iterations but that just gives even worse result. Is there something different I should be doing?
