The order of master pages

Question

I understand master pages now, but one thing that really confused me while learning them was that they show up in what seems to be, some random order. Is there a rhyme or reason to the order of the master pages? Or is there a helpful hint to help me understand why they are ordered the way they are?

Thanks

--Misty

Aside from the first two default (Left, or Left + Right, depending on whether the document is single- or double-sided) I think the order in the chapter is the order that they're created in.

I agree that this can seem a bit confusing -- at times I've saved a file as MIF and used a text editor to re-order the masterpages, just to get them into a more copacetic (at least to my way of thinking!) order. Not a recommended procedure unless really, really irritated by minutia. I guess the good thing is that the order of the m.p. has absolutely no effect in any other aspect of FM.
