Well, I must have been hallucinating because in the copy of FM10 I happen to
have on this computer, adding a selected group of files results in a reverse
numerical order adding of the files no matter how you select them in the Add
Files to Book dialog.
Ex. Files are added in this order: Test4-fm, Test3.fm, Test2.fm, Test1.fm no
matter the order of selection.
That seems really arbitrary to me.

My (recalled) experience is that the order in which you select the files to add
them to the book affects the order in which they appear. (I think this is a
Windows thing). The one anomaly is (again, as I recall) that the first file
selected ends up being the last added to the book, whereas the rest are added
in first to last order.
Hope I'm not hallucinating! I'll go try a test now.

Subject: [Framers] Script/ to sort files in a FrameMaker book file?
We create our book files by dragging "bunches" of files from Windows
Explorer onto the book file. This works excellent, only... we need a
method to sort the files in the FrameMaker book file in the right order.
The chapters have names like "100_spareparts.fm", "102_spareparts.fm",
"204_spareparts.fm" and being able to sort by numbers/alphabetically
would be a great bonus.
Is it possible to write script helping to do these tasks or is there
already a feature/plugin which can help?
