Alphabetizing a generated list of Figures or Tables

[Pete Rourke]

Thanks Fred,

 

I missed the paragraph in the book about order of occurrence. J

 

Knowing this, I will tighten up the style rules of my captions.

 

Thanks

 

Pete

Lists (of Contents, Tables, Figures, Paragraphs, whatever...)
are always sorted in order of occurence.  No way I'm aware of 
to change that.
 
Indexes are sorted alphabetically.
 
So if you need an alphabetical list of figure captions, you need 
to insert markers in the captions so that you can build an index
of that marker type. Frame has lots of user-defined marker types
available, so that shouldn't present a problem.
 
But I have to say that I'm not sure I really see the value of an
alphabetical list of captions unless you have some *very* 
well-defined style rules for writing the captions.
