This is pretty standard functionality in commercial packages. The board stuffers like to have the components in a logical arrangement(R10 is near R9, etc.).
I always numbered mine by pages, like all R100-R199 were on schematic page 1, etc. They tended to get grouped together anyway that way.
While thats one valid method, please don't enforce it.
I prefer to be able to find R101 near R102 on the board, and use text search in xpdf when I have to locate r101 on the schematic. john
