How this sheet prints
- Lots are printed in the order the room is worked: section by section, each section in the order the house set it, and by lot number inside it.
- The estimate is the bracket at the end of the line, in GBP, held to the currency's minor unit — the figure the house wrote, not a rounded one.
- A lot is printed here once it is in the catalogue; a lot still being written carries its own state on the line.
The same 12 columns — Lot no., Section, Title, Description, Condition, Grade, Low estimate, High estimate, Currency, Consignor, Photos, State — come out as one CSV for the cataloguing software the house already runs.
