Is it possible to combine two existing room schedule fields into one?

I currently have two fields: Room Number & Room Name, and I want the sort the schedule by the room number & create a header that shows both the Room Name & Room Number.

For example: "Classroom 107" as a header.

See attached.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd say the only way you could do this is utilizing the comments field or another shared parameter to type in what you want the header to say. Unless there is something in the API which is something I dont know.

If you dont mind it reading as:

Classroom
107

Then its doable. Just tell the Sort tab to have headers for both catagories. Thats what i did in the attached.

Getting to to say:

Classroom 107

Will require an extra parameter, and some way to manage it if you want it to be automatic (or do it manually).

Thank you both for your responses. I am not a big fan of manually manipulating schedule content... too bad there is not a way to simply mash together the values of two fields with a schedule parameter.

I think I can live with the two headers that was mentioned by twiceroadsfool.
