Importing files into FM8
Hi all, When importing multiple files into a new FM 8 book the files are entered in precisely the reverse alpha-numeric order according to their file names. They have been named "Sect n1 Chap n2.fm" so that each section is comprised of more than one chapter. They are followed by Preface.fm, Glossary.fm,... that get added in that order. What needs to be done to change the order so that they are added in ascending order, rather than descending?

Try reversing the name sequence in Explorer by clicking on the Name header before you select them. When I do that here, I get them added to the book in the same order as in the Explorer window, regardless of how I select them (click/ shift-click or multiple ctrl-clicks). HTH! -- Jeremy H.
