2 questions regarding float placement

Hi LyX-users, I have 2 questions regarding the placement of floats and the numbers assigned to them in cross-references. The first is whether it is possible to have to order in which floats are referred to in the text determine the order in which they appear in the final document. For example, s

Thanks for this. By following your instructions I managed to a) see the pdf in lyx on screen and b) generate a DVI file. But the place where the pdf should be is empty. If however I c) try to generate a pdf from pdflatex, lyx just goes into an endless loop, from which I can only exit by forcing a
