Adding Files to New Book

File names for my publication begin with a numeral (e.g., "1frontmatter.fm",
"2preface.fm")--helps keep them in order more easily. Typically I might
have 10 files to assemble into a book; they appear in ascending order in
the book window.

I previously had Frame 9. When I chose "add files" to fill a new book,
selected the files as a group, and clicked the "Add" button, the files
appeared in the wrong order in the book window: half (files 1 through 5)
were ascending and half (files 5 through 10) were descending. So in the
book window, the files listed vertically were 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5. I had to manually rearrange them.

We recently moved to Frame 11. I just created a new book into which I
imported my files for the new edition. Using the same steps, the files
listed vertically are 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And I still have to
manually rearrange them.

What causes this and how can I get the files to appear in ascending order
without manual intervention?

Thanks,
Karen
