RE: Section Numbering Problem in Frame 9
Thanks, Lynne. That fixed my problem. It was confusing that you could set the section number in the files, but then had to override it in the book with folders.

Adding files to book results in reverse order
Hopefully this is an easy one. I had this problem in 7.2 and now 9 and wonder what exactly is causing it and if there is a fix. I'm creating a book and adding 50 or so files to it (through the add file button). Even though the files are sequentially numbered, Frame adds them in reverse order. It's time consuming to go back and reorder them. Is this just a quirk, am I doing something wrong, or is there a patch?
