Sync script generated results in errors because the script generated is out of order. Views created before drop/creating reference tables.
Description

When generating a script from a schema comparison, it creates views before removing any conflicting tables (i.e. table with the same name as the view) and the underlying tables to which the views refer is not recognized.
This results in errors when trying to run the sync script.
Sample errors:
1. "There is already an object named 'Current Product List' in the database."
2. Invalid object name 'Products'.
Sample of general order of script created:
1. Line 23 CREATE VIEW Current Product List
2. Line 31 DROP TABLE Current Product List
3. Line 41 CREATE TABLE Products
4. Line 64 ALTER VIEW [dbo].[Current Product List]
-- (view refers to table Products)
Resolution

WORKAROUND:
Manually rearrange script to the correct order.
STATUS:
Waiting for fix in a future version of Toad for SQL Server.
