Fixing lots of X-refs

[Shmuel Wolfson]

In Annoyance 3, do you mean select the document or select the paragraph?

I would love it if the list of paragraphs would be alphabetic. That's a 
very request from Adobe.

For example, I never have X-Refs to bulleted list items or to text with the CellBody style, so it would be much easier if those weren't even in the list. I guess that's a wish-list item for Adobe.

I wish I knew how they are ordered, and better yet how to sort them in book order or at least alphabetically.
