Apparently its default value is nil. That might be why I've never seen them in reverse order, since I guess I've had this enabled for as long as I can remember.

I now have '#+STARTUP: fnadjust' in the preamble immediately below the title, author and date fields and this reorders the footnote list so it is now going [fn:1] [fn:2] [fn:3] etc, and adds the new footnote at the end of the list. There is a slight pause whilst its reordering but then it works just fine. No, its not the latex support, its what is happening with a new org-mode footnote. But please see my previous paragraph.

It hasn't worked that way for me in the past, and I just tested this on a new org file and it didn't put them in reverse order. Currently on Org 8.2.4. Could this be something to do with latex support?

Could be, I've set 'org-export-to-latex' to "s-#" which I've found is far quicker and easier than 'C-c C-e l l', but its perfectly possible that I'd mangled it at some point. And yes, I had looked at that page but didn't find any easy way of sorting it out, so it just had to be done manually. Its thrown my writing schedule off but it should catch up over the weekend, I hope?! :) Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian 8.4, fluxbox 1.3.7, emacs 25.0.93 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Org-mode likes to set the footnotes in its 'reference' section in reverse order, i.e. [fn:60] [fn:59] etc. But in my case it was going [fn:1] [fn:2] etc. So I manually reordered them but I still wasn't able to export my file, so I looked at the footnote references *in* the document and found that they were all [1] [2] etc. Somehow it had lost 'fn:*' before each reference number, so I went through the document just reinstating the missing 'fn:' and now it all works again. > > BTW, this won't help now, and is not meant to be snarky, but keeping > your org files in a git repo would help with a situation like this, > because you could find the commit where the change happened and get the > old text back.

I do have git set up to auto-commit in certain working files to every 4 hours, so I did look at the git log but wasn't able to find when the error had occurred, so I sorted it all out manually. But I have now set the cron job to work every 15 minutes between 0600 and 2200, I don't see the sense of doing it when I'm in bed! But thanks for the idea.

Re: [O] How to reorder a footnote list?
I don't understand: you want the footnotes to be in reverse order? I know very little about latex, so I'm sorry if this is just noise. BTW, this won't help now, and is not meant to be snarky, but keeping your org files in a git repo would help with a situation like this, because you could find the commit where the change happened and get the old text back. I use a combination of real-auto-save-mode, a cron job, and a "raise-or-run" script that automatically commits my org file changes to git either every 15 minutes or every time I hide Emacs with the script. It has saved me a few times when I accidentally deleted subtrees without realizing it until days later (probably had a region marked by accident and then typed over it or something like that).
[O] How to reorder a footnote list?
Something has happened to my list of footnotes which are now numbered in order of 1,2,3, etc, instead of its more normal 50, 49, 48, etc. I don't know exactly when it happened but I'm not able now to export my document to latex because its looking for [fn:1] at the bottom of the list but [fn:1] is now at the top of the list! So how can I reorder the list please? I've googled but without success.
