Book Files import in random order

Yves,
Eureka! That worked fine!
As far as the file names, those are out of our hands. 8^(

Blessings,

Hi Darren

It depends on how you add the files to your book and where you put your mouse pointer to drag the files into your book.

Try the following:


1.	Arrange Windows Explorer and FrameMaker side by side (tile vertically).
2.	In Windows Explorer, select all the files which you wish to add to the book and put your mouse pointer on section 2-3.
3.	Drag all the files into your FM book.

The order of the files should now be correct.

If you had put your mouse pointer on section 2-7, for example, you will see that section 2-7 will appear as the first file in your FM book.

P.S.: I don't know whether "Section 2-3" is also the name of your FM file. I always advise my students against doing this because you may want to rearrange the files in your book later, or reuse them in other books, and you can use <$volnum> and <$chapnum> for that.

Cheers

	the files is  jumbled:
	
	Ex:
	
	Section 2-3
	Section 2-4
	Section 2-5
	Section 2-6
	Section 2-7
	Section 2-8
	Section 2-9
	Section 2-10
	
	-imports like this-
	
	Section 2-9
	Section 2-8
	Section 2-7
	Section 2-6
	Section 2-5
	Section 2-4
	Section 2-3
