Section Tab Order

[Ron]

How do I move section tabs around to put them in a certian order? I have a
folder that has many section labled Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3, ect. They were
created in random order and now I want them numerical, but can't seem to move
then within the folder.

Ron,

It is unfortunately a fairly tedious process if you have a large
number of sections.

Right click on the section tab that you want to move first. Select the
Move option from the context menu.

A navigation window appears. Read the instructions carefully (many
people don't find the procedure intuitive) and move the section to the
desired position.

Repeat as necessary.

I tend to create sections now in alphabetical/numerical order. In
other words right click on the section *before* the new one in
alphabetical/numerical order and select the New Section option. The
new section is inserted to the right.

If you want to create a new section earliest in alphabetical order you
have to insert it later then do the Move procedure described earlier.

I hope that helps.

So, the obvious solution is, in the next version, to be able to drag and drop
sections and folders around like you can do with pages!

Also for v.2:

Right click a section tab, from the context menu, select "Sort..."
then choose from A-Z, Z-A etc
