Hello, thanks for your hint with the MIF file. I found out that ist not the order of the text flow elements in the MIF file but the value of the tag <TextRectID> that determines the order of appearance. If I change that value I can change the order of appearance. Unfortunately there are quite some frames with RectIDs in my documents (more than text frames) and changing the values proves to be a tricky matter with unforeseeable effects. But it seems to be the way to go.
Thanks to all and Servus from Austria Markus Drenckhan Von: Roger Shuttleworth [mailto:rshuttleworth at avbasesystems.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

If I recall correctly, flows have to be visualized in a z-order (that is, a vertical dimension). That means that, however they appear on a page, they are actually separate layers, each one on top of the previous one. However, if you save as MIF and then open the MIF in a text editor, you can identify each text flow: <TextFlow <TFTag `1_first'> <Notes > # end of Notes <Para <Unique 998321> <PgfTag `Body'> <ParaLine <TextRectID 23> > # end of ParaLine > # end of Para > # end of TextFlow I suspect that if you cut/paste to change the order, that will reflect in the dialog when you want to import the flow. I just gave it a quick try, and it looks promising. There may even be plugins that would do this for you...
