Hello! Given that you are just migrating right now, there IS a possibility to get an arbitrary order: Instead of creating new pages the normal way, create new pages by creating a link to a target "+PAGENAME" in the parent page and follow the link. This way you have an order-able (cut/paste) list of subpages *in addition* to the alphabetical index pane. Obviously though this approach is sort of limited. It doesn't provide a full custom-sorted tree view and requires extra work when moving a page, but as a work-around it might suffice. kind regards, Klaus
