Tim,

I do not work for them, I am merely a user, Encom in Australia have a
product called Discover, it includes a facility, which I use all the time,
which allows you to maintain a table which specifies the order of items for
a geological legend.

RE: MI ordering items in the legend

Tim,

I find the easiest way is to save your workspace, then open the .WOR file 
with notepad or other editor and edit the cartographic legend section. If 
you use Search:Find carto, this will take you to the top of the legend 
section. Then you can reorder the frames by simply cutting and pasting. A 
good tip is to keep a copy of the .WOR file in case you create an error, 
then you can always start again. Here's an extract from a .WOR to 
illustrate :
<<
Create Cartographic Legend
  Position (5.79167,0.375) Units "in"
  Width 2.8 Units "in" Height 5 Units "in"
  Window Title "Legend:2"
  Portrait
  Default Frame Title "# Legend" Font ("Arial",0,10,0)
  Default Frame Style "%" Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
  Frame From Layer 4
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
  Text "Martin Grant Homes Land Holding" Region Pen (2,2,16728064) 
 Brush (1,0,16777215)
  Frame From Layer 3
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
  Text "Wates Land Holding" Region Pen (2,2,7381247)  Brush 
(1,0,16777215)
  Frame From Layer 12
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
  Text "Housing Sites (Net)" Region Pen (1,2,0)  Brush 
(2,16770192,16777215)


you want to bodily select and reshuffle the blocks of text commencing 
"Frame from layer." and ending with Text "

Save the .WOR in it's new form and everything should be fine.


Hope this helps,


Andy Beckett
