Yeah!
My experience was that the "hover over the first file in the selection" before
clicking and dragging, was essential to get it correct!

book file?
You are not hallucinating Craig, I have observed this behaviour many times
before.
If you're using Windows Explorer to add files in to a FrameMaker book:
a. select the View > Details menu item in Windows Explorer, and click the
"Name" column header to sort by the file names b. use a mouse to click and
select files c. hover over the first file in the selection, then click and drag
this range of files in to the FrameMaker book
If you're using the FrameMaker Insert > Files... menu item / "Add files to
book" dialog:
i. select the range of files
ii. click the "Name" column header to sort by the file names in REVERSE sort
order iii. click Add button
NOTE: If you use FrameMaker Structured books, I have observed some occasions
where dragging files to sort the order of the files in the book will cause the
Structure View window to get the files in the structure branch completely
inverted. When this happens, additional book operations can cause FrameMaker
to crash.
